the texture seems to move when i rotate the view. what is the reason for this? with the other objects with normalmap i don't have These Problems.
Here are Pictures without the normal map, as you can see the texture doesn't "move":

Hi,

hmmmm

Can you please double check which shader you are using and what settings the final material in the i3df file has.
Compare that to a building from our default maps and you should get some insights.

Cheers,
Emil

Actually at the Moment the Building has no shader. only the Standard texture files like in 3ds max.

what i found out, that it musst be a Problem with the normal map. other normal maps which i do not make with the photoshop plugin work. so i tried to convernt the normal map i made with photoshop with the other program and after the conversion the normal map works propely in i3d.

so it musst be a Problem with the nivida photoshop plugin or the Settings i use there. anyone a Suggestion which Settings i should use there?

Hi,
try to use xnormal plugin for photoshop.
http://www.xnormal.net/Downloads.aspx

with this kind of setting:

Im not sure, but check if you dont have alpha channel in normal map, this also could cause some issues.

Michael Dirkmann (_pAre) 03.06.2017 11:26
the tip with the Alpha channel was right. for test i only used a png file, and this file has transparency. so i saved the png as an dds in DTX1 (without Alpha channel) and the Problem was solved.

but i will also try the xnormal plugin. Looks good.
