Normal map format?

Can Octane use world space normal map baked by it's own baking camera ?

Please, try to use the Texture Tangent pass.

Not sure how could it help, whatever I do it's always just flat 0,5 0,5 1 color in that pass. Would be appreciative for an example .

it's only normal map I could bake . World space floating point -1 to 1 which I can turn into more regular 0-1 in Blender composer . Tangent pass shows nothing but flat color


ps, I managed to re-bake world space into Tangent space normal map in Blender itself but still wonder can I do so in Octane? I need to do it for gazilion UDIM tiles and Octane can do it in more or less automated manner but re-baking them in Blender is only possible for 0-1 UV space. So I would like to re-bake into tangent map in Octane too. Is there any trick to do it?

Hi,
you can also use the Tangent Normal pass, but it works only with Bump and Normal maps, not with Displacement:
