Substance Painter Normals lower resolution then tutorial

rememba_da_name

So Ive followed along the whole way and am in Substance painter but my models normals always look low resolution. 

For example my 4k textures look like Tim's 2k textures... I believe i followed all the steps but mine looks worse.

Mine: 

Tim's 

I am aware his is zoomed out more but trust me mine are jagged while his are sharp. How can i fix this?





I have the Texel Density at 36.435 only because im trying to get my normals to look as good as Tims.
I dont understand texel density at all so please just pretend im an idiot since i dont know that very well.

I cant progress till mine is on par with his in the AKM tutorial.

Not sure what the answer is here but I thought id share this video on texel density. It was the first explanation that made it click for me https://youtu.be/5e6zvJqVqlA

if it helps i can give you files so you can see whats wrong cuz im too new and dont understand

Just spotted you're working at 2k

Old painter didn't rescale your bakes to document resolution. They switched it in 2018 I think so if the tutorial is old you might see differences

Do you where i can find out for sure? If so thats the problem I have been facing.

You could sift through patch notes to verify. Don't let yourself get hung up on something so small though, it's a pretty tiny detail in the end
