Re: Polycount Tower - WAYWO
Well, here are the buildings of my floor baked down. I used Maya for the high poly, Max for the low poly, UVs and bake. The screen grab is Substance Painter where I test my normals. thread here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=148507 -
Re: Substance Painter 2018.2.1 - .tga normal map export artifacts
It's a typical quantization issue. For such a smooth surface, you would need either to add edge loops to get rid of the smooth gradient on the flat side of the sword, or use a 16bpc normal map, or add dithering on the normal map.

Re: PixaFlux - PBR Texture Composer - Open Beta Testing
Did some testing with this tool, mainly for the smooth normals option. So far I can see 2 major problems with PixaFlux when it comes to normals. First of all it is in only 8bit. I couldnt find any options to generate 16bit images out of pixaflux. This is an issue as it will cause banding/stepping.… -

Re: Are these inverted UVs okay?
The uvs look fine in the op's image, the normal map detail is all where it's supposed to be. The artifacts here might be due to bit depth issues and/or compression. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=148303 -
Re: Strange Normal Artefacts - XNormal
Yeah looks like a bit depth issue, more here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=148303 -
Re: Seemless normal map on a cube?
Everything looks normal, If you render the normal map @ 2k you should be fine. The problem with the 512x512 map is the edges of the uv's aren't aligning perfectly with any pixel grid so when marmoset filters the texture there is a very small gradient error. So you could conceivably fix this by moving the uv's around…
