Getting weird artifacts when I set the model on Marmoset Toolbag 2?!

I'm getting some weird artifacts on p Marmoset Toolbag 2 and I don't know how to resolve this.

This is what I get when I set it up on Marmoset Toolbag 2 with the usual settings I use. The reflections seem to be off, too. If I invert the Gloss map however (never had to do this with previous models), I get the reflection I should be getting, but I still get the artifacts on the blade.

The problem seems to be with with the normal map, because if I only preview it, I get the artifacts on the blade. Everything seems to get fixed (still have some problems with it) if I use the .tif files instead of the .tga files: 1 2


This is how the model is supposed to look: 1 2 3

This looks like bit depth issues to me, check out this thread: http://polycount.com/discussion/148303/of-bit-depths-banding-and-normal-maps?new=1

As far as inverting your gloss map, this is something you need to do if you've authored a roughness map, where white = most rough and black = most smooth.

Thanks a lot! Although it didn't fix it completely, but it reduced it significantly. And I learned a lot from DUSTINBROWN's post.

Thanks, again.
