Vray5 normal mapping issue bump multiplier no longer works

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya Issues
1

Hello,

it seems that when i set normal map to tangent space and apply a normal map to a surface its either on or off and the bump multiplyer no longer works. I can switch to normal map in object space and the multiplier seems to work again but there is no explanation of the differenaces between object space and tangent space so i do not know if this is correct or not?

Bug or exspected behavour

thanks in advance

matt

I have looked into this problem and it seems to be happening only with nightly build, but not with stable builds. Are you also reproducing the problem with nightly or stable build? I will have further look into the problem and report it for fixing.

Is there any progress on this issue? My studio just upgraded to VRay 5 (5.00.20 August 5th) in Maya 2020 and I’m having the same issue.
