How to get non fuzzy reflections in Substance Painter?

Danface

Hey, 

Whenever I create a material with 0 metal and 100 roughness, it will reflect everything but there is this fuzziness to it that I can't edit. I'd want to be able to get a crisp reflection but every fill material seems to come with this fuzzy texture to it.

You probably have an 8-bit normal map assigned. If you re-bake it at 16 bit does that solve your issue?

You were totally right! I had previously imported mesh maps from another file and clearly paid no attention to the bits. Redoing it with 16 bits have results as crisp as I could ask for!



Thank you very much, you beautiful human!

Polycount stickies should always be one of your 1st port of calls for anything normal map.
