darker parts because of normal map ?? ( in webviewer)

Digipyro · Mar 2019

Can anyone tell me why Some parts of my material as significantly darker than the rest ? It has to do with the normal map and is not visible in marmoset itself only in the viewer.

To give some background info, I've painted everything in substance painter and exported it using the specgloss from metalrough. Inverted the Y as recommended, enabled sRGB.

to perhaps make it easier I've included several screenshots.

Can you post a screenshot that shows the material setup in Toolbag?

there you go. If I enable sRGB in the Albedo it becomes very dark somehow.

I managed to fix it bu turning off sRGB and object space. Took me some fiddling but happy it's sorted now.

Yes that makes sense, you've got a tangent space normal map so object space should be disabled. Normal maps should always been in linear space too (sRGB off). If you accidentally load your normal map into the albedo slot it can get incorrectly flagged as sRGB and you'll need to change it in the texture options.
