[SOLVED] Normal Map artifacts-Help!

MMattice

Hello everyone,

I am getting these strange artifacts on my model inside of MT3. These artifacts are not present in Substance Painter, or in the Normal map itself. I have included some images with this post to show you. There is a baking issues that runs in the center of the object (and I already know about this, and am working on fixing atm), but does anyone know where these lines are from? I have already tried exporting my textures from SP in different file formats, and that hasn't seemed to work. 


^^ In Substance Painter



^^In Marmoset with "Scale and bias" check off to show the lines more clearly.

UV_ this is a mirrored object. The side to the right represents the middle.

Go to the mesh object properties and change the tangent space to Mikkt, this should match the results you're seeing in Painter.

You can go to Edit -> Preferences and set a default tangent space as well, which will apply to any meshes you import in the future.

@EarthQuake unfortunately, this did not work. Its so strange. I even imported this maps/mesh into Maya to see I got these weird lines elsewhere, and MT3 is the only place. I really don't want to rebake, because that means re-texturing. Is there anything else I might be able to try?

@EarthQuake [SOLUTION]I just solved the problem! I re-exported my model from Maya. Upon export, I checked the "Tangents and Binormals"box, and that has fixed the problem!
