Solved: UV layout doesn't match up with normal map

gopper0815

Hello,

i want to work on a normalmap, wich was generated from quixel suite. to know where i must paint, i overlapped a uv-layout, wich i had saved out from blender. But the layout don`t match up with the normalmap. why is this. has anybody the same problem? The uv-layout is the same, as the layout at the model.

Could you provide us some images of this issue, Gopper?

here is a screenshot of the problem. you see the normal with the paint on the correct place and you see where the uv-layout is.

It looks like you're not aligning your layers correctly. NDO won't change your layer position - only you can do that. You'll need to work from your UVs, which you can place above the NORMAL group.

hm, i open the file with the uv-layout. then i type ctrl-a to select all and ctrl-c to copy. Then i go to the tab from the normal-map. There i type ctrl-v. i don`t do anything else. But how you wrote, there must be a problem with the layer position

Hi Gopper,

Try using Ctrl + Shift + V instead; for me, this always pastes the UV Layout exactly where it should be.

CTRL+SHIFT+V is Paste In Place, which keeps the object in the exact position it was prior. It's definitely the preferred pasting method unless you don't need a layer in an exact position.
