Support for Blender

[Jack Underscore]

Can you either add better saving support to PSD formats or somehow make a plugin so I can use affinity files natively in Blender? It is a major pain in the butt to always have to export to PSD while texturing in Blender.

Hi @Jack Underscore

Why don't you ask in the Blender forum if they have support for the Affinity format?
Why does a software always have to support the format of a competitor? Do you think Adobe will bother to support the Affinity format?

This would actually be the route that you need to take. Not a competition aspect at all, but simply support for file formats Blender enables.

An example of the problem in PSD created by Affinity?

That would be possible only if/when Affinity makes public their file format specs.

I'm curious, what is it about the PSD format that is required (or desired) for Blender textures? Would a PNG or TIF not work the same? I don't claim any real experience with 3D textures, but it seems odd to me that a proprietary Adobe file format would be the best choice for a highly established FOSS app like Blender.
