Using 8-bit maps
- [Instructor] Having seen just how easily we can work with floating point EXR files from Substance Designer, what we want to take a look at in this video is what, if any, difference exists when working with eight-bit files instead. To get started, we will need to follow pretty much the same steps as in the previous exercise. And so, back in Substance Designer, using the scene that we saved out at the end of the previous exercise, let's once again make certain that we are outputting with width and height values of three and three.
