How to properly display baked normal map in Max's viewport?

Defonten

Hi, I baked normal map which looks good applied on lowpoly model in Marmoset Tooolbag. Of course, lowpoly model has all Smoothing Groups set from UV Shells which looks ugly without normals but with Normal map applied - looks smooth and seamless, well you know. But when I load it in Max and activate Normal map, the model would still show those separated Smoothing Groups.. How do I apply it in Max's viewport so it looks good and seamless in Max's viewport too? Thanks!

Solved. Flipping Y and switching off Gamma did it.

now the question is, why do you need it to look good in max? what do you do with the lowpoly, past baking, in max that you can not do directly in your target engine?

Well, of course, it's not very necessary, but as I'm going to skin my model - I want to have a more precise view to get better idea of how my model looks/performs in certain areas while deforming, before I export to game engine
