Hey Guys,
Ive sculpted a character, then used the texture baking function of the sculpting module to export normal-maps. They look fine in Cinema 4Ds native renderer, but off in Redshift. I checked interpreting them as “raw” and switched between modes inside the bump node to be sure… yet they still look terrible. Octane also hates them. Any idea how I might have to bake them out correctly?

Please find the model and the normal map for the “body” here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoVgM343Fww5hp12Hs4KMc4r0vqeLQ?e=E5tHYS

Hi P.,

I don’t have Octane, but I can check if there is some off in the baking.

If you use a cloud service, please use Amazon, Apple, Adobe, Google, or Wetransfor. Thanks a lot.

With your link, I get in Chrome a #404, and in Safari a white blank page.

All the best
