16-bit tiff IN → 16-bit tiff OUT ?

Hi RC community,

I've been going over older posts and there have been many conversations regarding 8, 16 and 32 bit workflows. I understand that with the latest release(s) there has been more support for higher bit depths. However, with my current version of Steam RC I am unable to generate proper 16-bit tiff textures using 16-bit tiff inputs. Currently the exported tiff export produced an 8-bit image with crunched and over-saturated colors. Trying to export an exr (which doesn't make total sense) results in a "not yet implemented" error.

Is it that

• RC internally still converts 16-bit tiff to 8-bit for alignment, reconstruction and texture generation?
• RC expects a specific color-space such as sRBG or AdobeRBG?
• Steam RC isn't running the very latest version and doesn't have this feature implemented yet?

If there is a current 16-bit workflow that works for people I'd love to hear about it. Clients more often than not ask for a linear 16-bit workflow but RC seems to be the current bottleneck in that process.

Thanks a bunch!
Jan

  Hello, for this moment, just replace image names in *.rcproj file or if you using tiff for meshing and tiff for texturing, just rename original folder, reopen project and point to folder with images for textures and use them for texturing.
