[feature request] Grayscale images as first class citizens #33

Open milasudril opened 3 years ago

milasudril commented 3 years ago

Summary

Currently, texpainter only imports and edits RGBA images. Make it possible to work with grayscale images directly.

Motivation

The 3d view requires a hightmap. Colors are useless in this case. Thus, painting terrain requires an RGBA split node, which adds extra overhead. With support for grayscale painting this would be solved.

Proposed solution

Need to think about it.
