Normal map type - DX x GL

[Jonish]

Hello,
what's the correct normal map for V-Ray? Polyhaven offers both "DX" and "GL" option and they seem to be inverted.

Use the purplish one/ the GL one.
The map may seem inverted(don't mind it) but when you render it should be fine.

Thanks, Slavcho!

Hi Jonish,

In V-Ray the following should be true for a normal map to render correctly (V-Ray for 3ds Max is an exception):

• The Red channel should be pointing right
• The Green channel should be pointing up

This texture for example looks correct:
