Descrição
Texture channel packing tool allows to pack channels directly in Unreal Editor, without using other software.
Texture channel packing is a technique used to store multiple images in a single texture. This is done by assigning each image to a different channel of the texture. For example you can save the base color in R,G,B channels and roughness in Alpha, or store the normal map in R,G, roughness in B and specular in Alpha channel. Texture channel packing is commonly used in Unreal.
Example Use Cases:
Pack: combine textures in 1 texture asset (example: AO, Roughness, Metallic textures->ORM)
Repack: change the order of channels. (example: ORM -> RMO)
Unpack: extract channels into separate assets (ORM -> AO, Roughness, Metallic texture assets)
and other operations that rely on copying of texture channels
Features:

Supports most of output texture settings: compression, mip maps, srgb, filtering, lod, etc.
No precision loss: reads and writes the raw texture data
