Blender - Texture Channel Packing

[@pzthree]

Note* Images will usually be 3 channels, Red, Green, and Blue. Alpha is the 4th channel. If I wasn't super clear about that.

I'm curious how much memory this might save. I mean, if you're plugging 4 images into a shader, 1 full colour image and 3 greyscale images, then isn't that ultimately the same memory size as 1 full colour image and 1 image with 3 greyscale channels?

Camera-based planar baking is also fast and good combination with Compositor. This is why I love GrabDoc. It goes hand-in-hand with compositor.

Very useful texture packing method, and it's a free method, the best kind.

Could this be scripted to automate the process?

[@pzthree]

More then likely.
