Problem with Normal maps exported from photshop
Hello everyone. i got a problem everytime i try to edit 2 normal maps togther in photoshop. after i export my final normal map and view it in substance it shows with alot of artifacts and kinda pixilated tried to export it with huge scale same problem i also tried to disable sRGB in export settings also same problem. -
Re: Problem with Normal maps exported from photshop
I get what you're trying to do - I see this all the time. What you have after this process is a normal map that doesn't work with your mesh regardless of whether you use averaged normals or not . Bad practice aside though.. I don't think thats necessarily the root of the artefacts in your original image - there's a better… -
Re: Problem with Normal maps exported from photshop
I suggest to check the topology and vertex normals of your model first. Those gradients you see there exist most probably because of vertex normals in corners of any surface supposed to be flat having some random subtle inclination . Ideally you model shading of such hard surface things should show perfectly flat ,… -

Too add, & i found the cage is not just to keep objects outside of the target object from being projected it actually matters, i learned this via switching bakers, xnormal created cage, vs, say marmoset/3dsmax/any other application. (cause for some reasons, xnormal almost always hates any cage it didn't create, or that has… -
Re: Problem with Normal maps exported from photshop
Poopipe alluded to this but it should probably be stated more specifically… retouching a normal map that’s baked into a non-tiling UV is really bad workflow. The bake process creates normal map colors depending on the vertices of the model and which direction the vertex normals are pointing. As soon as you start painting… -
Re: Problem with Normal maps exported from photshop
i think what i want to say is kinda not clear enough, ofc its my bad sry all. but what i mean is that i combine 2 normal map layers 1st layer is the normal map baked with average normals 2nd layer is baked without average normals to get the final normal map which i am using in the first (Model)picture -

i mean fixing skew that happens due to average normals -
Re: Problem with Normal maps exported from photshop
What do you mean by "edit 2 normal maps together"? Showing either one or the other based on a masks value? Is it not possible to do it inside Painter (e.g. set normal mixing to "replace", mask in other normal map)? -
Re: Problem with Normal maps exported from photshop
Well This i know this problem can be fixed easy with Marmoset toolbag using the Paint Skew put some times i want to used photoshop for simple and fast projects as marmoset needs some kinda of a setup to get a perfect bake -

Have you seen these tutorials yet? * Of Bit Depths, Banding and Normal Maps * Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details. * Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
