- How to export the baked maps?
- Is dithering applied to baked textures?
- Should I enable "Compute tangent space per fragment"?
- What are Assbin files?
- What is the bit depth of baked textures?
- What is the difference between the OpenGL and DirectX normal format?
- Why are there strange stretches in my textures after baking or exporting?
- Why is Matching by Name not working with Ambient Occlusion/Thickness?
- Why is my mesh fully black after baking?
- Common issues
- Aliasing on UV Seams
- Baker output is fully black or empty
- Baking failed with Color Map from Mesh
- Black shading cross are visible on the mesh surface
- Mesh parts bleed between each other
- Normal map has strange colorful gradients
- Normal texture looks faceted
- Seams are visible after baking a normal texture
- Seam visible on every face
- Texture baked outside of Substance software looks incorrect
Texture baked outside of Substance software looks incorrect
Alert:
Question
Why do the texture I baked with an external application and not the Substance Bakers look incorrect in Substance Painter ?
Note:
Solution
There is no immediate solution to this problem as many factors can contribute to the problem :
- Verify that the normal format between the Substance software and the external application is the same. OpenGL is [X+, Y+, Z+] and DirectX is [X+, Y-, Z+]
- In Substance Painter the normal format can be changed in the project configuration.
- In Substance Designer the normal format can be changed in the project preferences.
- Verify that the mesh has been triangulated before baking and importing it in the Substance software. See this page for more information.
