What Is RGBA?

My two favorite definitions of 64-bit are: 1: increasing the color-channels from *8 bits per channel* to *16 bits per channel*, scaling them at 65,535 instead of 255, plus expanding RGB into RGBA. 2: Double-precision Floating Point Number. Experience has recently taught me that a lot of programming codes within' technology use(s) binary-formats. Did I say "a lot"? I meant "nearly all"! 'nuff said.

Thank you for this tutorial. I learned this last year but found it difficult to explain to people how this allows for a ton of optimization. Now that there is a short video that explains it hopefully more people can try it.

[@UnknownSquid]

Informative video. Thankyou. I've always understood how colours mix via RGBA, but never known how to make use of this section properly in your shader. Makes sense now. Can already think of one potential application for it.

[@poiyomi]

Awesome!

[@sam_pyrtuh]

Thank you for this tutorial, it really help me while working on a commercial projects

[@pklpklpkl]

Poi just did the best explanation of a packed-map lol

[@Tekow1]

Ohh thats so great, I gotta see if I can make use of RGBA masking for one of my models for later use! Would you consider doing a tutorial on TPS setup from scratch? I considered trying to set it up but figured I'd wait until more info and tutoriald is out there on it.

[@poiyomi]

Well probably make one this month. I just have to get everything fully ironed out first.

[@zakarydemers6505]

Thanks dude

[@RiotingSpectre]

This was super useful, thanks!

[@notkoval]

we missed you

[@NexVice]

Where can I find use case in the meantime I imagine how to use it? xD

[@xr_xharprazoraxtra5428]

Question : Red is also overlapping with green and blue but how come during the masking, red got covered the most and blue got the whole circle ?

[@poiyomi]

It's done on purpose with RGBA masking so you can layer textures. for example: imgur.com/a/SaDSUAL

[@Shadsterwolf]

Would this be a more optimized method to use rather decals? I'm guessing only if you used more than one decal because you can replace 3 masks into one in some cases.

[@poiyomi]

Decals also have an RGBA mask. They can both do things the other can't... For now.

[@Synthi_Soul]

Interesting

[@activemotionpictures]

RGBA masking is so powerful. Thank you for this feature. I noticed this is Unity 2019.4.311f1 Will this shader work with 2019.4.25f1?

[@poiyomi]

Give it a try.

[@Smash_ter]

New microphone?

[@poiyomi]

New house. Also just woke up :)

[@Smash_ter]

@@poiyomi thanks btw for this vid. Now I know the thing I was asking for is possible, but I would have to go the other way around
