Ugh, yeah lots of tools don’t display normal maps the right way in their thumbnails/viewers. Here’s another tip: Normalize your textures! I made a couple SBSAR procedural filters for normalizing textures, since I couldn't find reliable tools for this. Maybe these filters can help you! Normal maps should always be… -
