Substance Painter - Maps getting flipped vertically when I bake

Purplenurple · Feb 2017

I'm pretty new to substance painter. I've made just a simple dagger and I've separated the parts into individual materials for the handle, blade, etc. When I take it into SP and go to bake the handle for example the maps all somehow come out flipped vertically. This actually darkens the mesh itself as well (its the AO map that does this part). Been searching for an answer for hours and haven't seen anything addressing this particular problem. Is there any way to control how the maps will be orientated or change it after its done?

You probably choose the wrong Normal map format (OpenGL vs DirectX). You can change it in the project settings and then rebake : https://support.allegorithmic.com/documentation/display/SPDOC/Project+configuration

I just tried changing the format and it still seems to be doing it. could the problem be with my UVing process? In maya I separated the dagger into parts (blade, crossguard, hilt, pommel) and uv'd each separately, assigned new materials, selected all and exported.

Get the same issues wihtin Substance Designer for some maps within the baker. The entire texture gets flipped on the V Axis (NOT the channels).

Yep same problem with Designer (Regardless of DirectX vs. OpenGL). Had to use a normal invert to fix my problem.

Designer 5.6.1. Been baking in Designer for over a year now..

Can you guys attach your log file ?
You can export it from the help menu of the application you are using.

Same happening here as well. And OBJ import crashes the program as well. Forced to only use FBX files

We're a lot of versions on since these problems were raised.

Can you describe the exact problem in the bakes and let us know the source of the objs/fbxs
