Sending more data through GBuffer customdata

Hello Guys

I am working in a new shading model, but I require to send more data over the GBuffer using the available GBuffer.CustomData variable, the first thing I did was enable a 32 bit buffer so I did modify the function: FSceneRenderTargets::AllocGBufferTargets and that make me able to send values bigger than 0-1, I am using this PF_A32B32G32R32F and now the next step is trying to encode a float3 into a float and force that into, for that I am using the next functions:

float ToonPackColor(float3 color) {
    return color.r + color.g * 256.0 + color.b * 256.0 * 256.0;
}

float3 ToonUnpackColor(float f) {
    float3 color;
    color.b = floor(f / 256.0 / 256.0);
    color.g = floor((f - color.b * 256.0 * 256.0) / 256.0);
    color.r = floor(f - color.b * 256.0 * 256.0 - color.g * 256.0);
    // now we have a vec3 with the 3 components in range [0..255]. Let's normalize it!
    return color / 255.0;
}

but it does not matter what I do, I cannot get the values back to use them, at this point I am a bit lost, those function are working perfectly in the material editor but not inside the GBuffer.

If someone please has a suggestion or know how to do that, it will be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Forget about it I was just converting wrong the numbers I found a solution in a unity forum lol

here are the functions:

 #define f3_f(c) (dot(round((c) * 255), float3(65536, 256, 1)))
 #define f_f3(f) (frac((f) / float3(16777216, 65536, 256)))
