Title: Normal map
Post by: minimaldesign - Blaž on 2017-03-16, 07:07:50

Hi all,

how can we use normal map and reduce the strength (It's set to linear color profil) or there is a bug with Corona A6.2? I also noticed that the direction of tex is different at some part.
p.s. and if anyone can share usable sample C4D material with working strength for normal map? :)

Regards!

I also really struggle with normal maps and basic bump maps as well. I would say this is definitely Corona for C4Ds weakest area. Sorry I cant help but I think many of us have run in to issues with it which hopefully is a good thing and they can do a robust fix soon.

Hi, I am sorry for such late reply. We already fixed it in internal upcomming version and we are backporting it to Alpha 6 that CoronaC4D A6.3 can be released next week. Thank you for your patience.

Hi, we are fixing the last (I hope) problem with the normal map now so I believe we can manage to release A6.3 tomorrow.
