Made a patch pillow with a fabric texture and normal. It looks reasonable without the normal...

But when the normal is added (and player light to emphasise) I get...

This view from the other side clearly shows the light is 'inverted' and I see dark shadow nearest the light and brightly lit where it should be shadowed....

I softened and brightened the normal so there is only really the soft crease marking on it and texture detail is lost. In Gimp'3 3D it looks OK, ie, not inverted. There are options in Gimp to invert X and Y. Should I use either or both of those?

 

Failing which I can just ditch the normal as they are not too bad without.

This looks like the normalmap is not loaded correctly.

 

Yep, I'd agree with that.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.
