Hi,

Was wondering what format the normal maps take by default when you export them from Mixer? The project I am on only uses OpenGL so I want to know if I have to convert any of these if they default as DirectX.

Thanks in advance,

Rexxigar

  Normal maps default to OGL format in Mixer. You can change this at any point in Mixer's export settings.

  The difference between OGL and DirectX is the Y direction, so simply invert it

  Hello there
  What if i cant use this option? i dont see it and my cursor turns red "says - no" when i hower mouse over "Linear" "RGB" and other options
  The only available options are Name and Format (JPG/EXR/PNG/TGA/TIF)
  That means that this plugin for 3ds max doesnt support this feature?

  Hi there! even though this is not Mixer but Bridge exporter, I think.
  The solution is right there!
  I see you have Normal Y and you need to use Normal -Y which is the invert. Hope this was helpful!
  Cheers!
