Title: Mikk T Support
Post by: haueryou26 on 2022-06-08, 15:42:24

Hey guys, I know this is a long shot but here we go.

I think Corona would find value in adopting the Mikk TSpace workflow. This is the most widely used tangent based calculator for baking out normal maps. We used this on Halo 4 and 5 and know 343 uses this format even now. MegaScan uses MikkTSpace and Poliigon is moving towards this global format. If this can be prioritized I know people would use it even if they didn't realize they already are.

Applications that Natively support Mikk Tspace
-3ds Max
-Blender
-Maya
-Unity

Currently the only way to have mathematically "Correct" normals with Corona is using 3ds Max legacy format. See images attached






-Unreal
-Substance Designer and Painter

+1 I noticed Vray 6 was giving me better results with Normal maps than Corona.

Are you sure this is related to Mikk T support?
Could you share some examples of this? (renders, and scenes if possible)

Hi Marcin, i have an object which shows ugly artefacts in Corona no matter what normal map i use (i tried both 3ds Max and MikkT normal maps). I can provide the scene and textures privately. Curious to see how it renders in V-Ray, or other modern off-line renderer.
