Substance Painter - How to combine height and normal maps?

Lemenus

Height map have information which i want to have on normal map, because not all software works good with height maps as bump

poopipe

Painter automatically combines height and normal information into a normal map

Buttt what if it isnt? People keep saying this but it isnt happening on my project. Does it still work for a mesh thats a 2D plane?

yes, the mesh is irrelevant

show us what your issue is

i assume you want your mesh to be displaced via heightmap while having a normalmap on top? if thats the case you need to use a shader that supports tesselation and displacement.

If your textures have no issue in Substance Painter's viewport, then maybe you should export combined normal instead of mesh-map-normal.
