Texture Channel Packer - ORM Texture Generator

Texture Channel Packer is free tool with which you can combine up to three textures and create ORM textures in seconds, among others. Three black and white textures are embedded in the color channels of an RGB image (red, green, blue). This makes very performant textures possible, because you replace three textures with one.

Pack textures into color channels with one click.

How to use ORM textures in Unreal Engine ?
Import your converted ORM / RGB image texture. Double-click on the imported texture in the Unreal Engine and search for “sRGB” in the right “Details” panel.
Uncheck “sRGB” and click save in the upper left corner. The texture should now be displayed correctly. In your material you can now paste the texture. It should have the type “Linear Color”. Now use the R,G,B outputs of the texture node and connect them to the respective material inputs. Example: For an ORM texture the RED output is connected to Ambient Occlusion, the GREEN output to Roughness and the BLUE output to Metallic.

How can I import TIF files?
Change the file extension from .tif to .tiff .
Now everything should work as usual.
