SOLVED: Quixel destroys normal map, WTF?

OutOfMyMind

Hi

I apply this normal map:



After Ddo makes a new project out of it this is the result:



I tried moving files to other folder, restarting Ddo, different map setup and always I get this result? How to repair that?

it probably has to do with the layers or how exactly you are doing it

I definitely haven't had any banding results like that. What settings are you using in your project? What materials?

Hi!

To be honest Its a bit disheartening for us to come across posts with these kinds of titles, I understand you want the software to work but without knowing what the problem is it feel a little bit unfair.

Anyway, the problem would most likely be that you have used black on your Color-id map for a material and have the Seam termination box ticked. If that is the case try creating a new Color-ID without black colors or create a new project without seam terminatio checked!

Let me know if this helps

Didn't thought that the title would be a big deal to anyone, I've changed that :poly102:
Edit: well at least I`ve tried to, cant change thread title.

That is 100% correct. Black color on the ID map + seams termination = that kind of effect.
I appreciate fast support. Thank you!

CKohl - no materials are needed to have such effect just low poly + black color id map + seam termination + normal map = boom!

I appreciate you tried to change the title, very nice of you!
Great that the problem was solved as well!!
