Is there anyone who can make any sense of this?
thanks:)

allknighter

didnt help:l
oh, and im running it in 3ds max, btw;)

EarthQuake

Baked where?

allknighter

tried both zbrush and xnormal. with automatic settings

EarthQuake

How are you rendering it?

If possible, try with a real time shader or in a game engine. If using vray or something like that, thats probably your issue.

allknighter

im using vray yes. (sorry for not giving alll the specs right away, bit of a long day for me)
and i would like to be able to render with it too. i mean, its not like vray hates normal maps:P

EarthQuake

Well, you should check your normal map in some sort of realtime viewer/shader to make sure its working correctly, then you will know its a problem with vray or your settings in vray. I do not know much about vray, just that I've seen people have issues with normal maps and vray.

thank you for taking interest in this, but after a lot of research and testing i finally found the solution.
when importing the normal map(which got auto imported by zbrush), i had to make sure to go back into the normal map and override gamma to 1.0.
