Normal maps not showing after building to mobile

salimmatta

Hey folks,

I used a standard shader in Unity and selected a normal map. On the pc it looks pretty good, but when I built for mobile the normal maps are not showing anymore, any idea why is it happening? and what's the solution for it?

Thank you in advance )

make sure your device actually supports normal maps and that you've chosen the appropriate shader model in your build settings
more info here https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GraphicsEmulation.html 

It sounds like a device issue as the fallback would result in a diffuse only output

Most devices made in the last 10 year should be fine, but it could also be some sort incompatibility with the new standard shader. Maybe try the legacy mobile shaders instead?

Thank you mate, sure I will try legacy shader )

For a second I though that mobiles does not support normal maps, besides this is our first game, so yes, we are still in the obstacle phase so far.
