Hi guys.

This problem is so frustrating and i need big explanation over that
1. i sculpt a shield in mud box. brought in Maya first render in Maya software which gave me horrible out put then in mental ray which is very nice and realistic.

please tell me why in Maya the out put of normal map is not coming in a way similar to that of Mental ray .

The first image u see is from Mental ray

even i did not click with cc-mesh.

MAYA My love

Maya’s software renderer doesn’t really work with normal maps. There are ways around it with shader networks but why bother when you can just use Mental Ray intead?

I belive you got the answer. Maya software will read normal maps as a bump unless you do some custom shading netwrok
Mentla ray is your option
