The HDRP Mask Map Splitter solves the challenge of reusing packed HDRP Mask Maps. By deconstructing them back into their original, separate textures, you can easily repurpose these assets or use them across different render pipelines.
Overview
The HDRP Mask Map Splitter is a Unity Editor tool that deconstructs a packed HDRP Mask Map into its constituent, widely-compatible textures: Metallic, AO, Detail Mask, and Smoothness. This visual interface not only simplifies editing but also facilitates the reuse of these PBR textures in projects that use other rendering pipelines. The separation process is shown in the following figure (PBR textures: Tiles 132 A and Metal 048 C, sourced from ambientcg.com):
