Normal Map appears too dark - any ideas

I have a normal map (generated with xNormal) and need to apply it to a mesh but it shows up very dark.
Does octane only work with world space normals or where does this problem comes from?
Any help appreciated.

Hello Nando!
You can post this simple scene and I or others can take a look at it.

Ah, I have got it.
Octane does not support 16 bit Normal Maps.
solved

It would be useful to have 16bits bump and normal maps.
Also a uvSet selector for maps that implies for the standalone a new mesh node that's only catching a new uvSet.
Or we can expect an FBX importer...
