Issue description:
I'm trying to create a texture of a floor. It looks fine in the software, but the exported albedo map is totally black, while the normal map is good.

Can you upload the .ptex file somewhere? You can include it in a ZIP archive that you drag-and-drop here.

I have the same issue, the albedo picture is completely black. Im running linux with the aur materialmaker bin.

I also experienced this issue, but I managed to find a work-around (see second image).

ORM and Normal map look fine, but the albedo is almost entirely black on export.

I was able to work around it by adding a Buffer node right before the Static PBR Material output.

Edit: The work-around is not consistent and seems to have nothing to do with the Buffer node. I had another file do this right after posting and adding the buffer did not work. After re-connecting a few nodes leading to the albedo output, it started working again. 🤷

Here's the project file without the work-around;
foliage_pine_branches.zip

I'm also running the Linux version (1_4a1), but I downloaded the package from itch.io.

Same issue but my export was white, adding the buffer node worked for me as well
