Could you try the latest version? I made a couple of changes related to normals in 0.25 or 0.26 i believe.

Re: Octane plugin normal maps problem

I found the Quixel material you are using.
Seeing as the material is upside-down, am I correct in that you are scaling the model with a negative scale?

No, I initially checked the directions of all the normals of my object, they are OK, upside down doors-this is my UV mapping error. In addition ...

Re: Octane plugin normal maps problem

The solution has already been given, in that some DDC for the green channel.
1. Get both Unreal and Octane going the same direction (even wrong)
2. Add to the normal node, a float value and a flatten normal
3. Adjust value positive or negative for best results.

It seems that this is too ...

Re: Octane plugin normal maps problem

I 100% has the same problem, with certain normals get unreal to flip it so, both are wrong then either add a float negative value or a minus one node

Yes, inverting a green channel works really good, but some of my projects need both renders, realtime render for a comfortable work and ray trace ...

Re: Octane plugin normal maps problem

When you import normal maps, especially from Substance files or Polligon the green channel is flipped. Go into the normal texture file and click flip green channel. Unreal will then display the correct same direction.

Add a flatten normal node and a float value to adjust.

Yes, i know it, but in ...
