Re: Substance Source - Master Thread
Hi. I wanted to know if there is the possibility to choose the type of normal maps (DirectX or OpenGL). I downloaded (for example) the "Scoria rock" file and opened in B2M: I can not find a command that allows me to choose the type of normal maps.

Re: best shaders.
