normal render element as normal texture

[ricorio]

Hi,

when I use the normals render element as a source for the normal texture map I get wrong directions in shadow and highlights.
Inverting the red channel seems to solve the problem ...
Can anybody tell me why there is a different color coding of the normals comming out of the render elements then feeding it into vray as a texture.

Cheers

Rico

It depends on how the UVs are set up on the surface and in which direction they are increasing.
