Normal Map Is Multicolored & Not Working In Shader Editor

[Tadpho]

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to figure out what went wrong with my normal map. I believe I followed every step, however; while Grant’s normal map is mostly blue, mine is multicolored. Also, when I plug in the map into the Shader Editior, my lowpoly doesnt look like my high poly.

Below is my plug in’s:

Below is what my normal map looks like:

Below is what my lowpoly looks like:

Below is what my highpoly looks like:

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Wow that is neon, use it as a colour map!

Did you use any extrusion in the bake settings?

I re-did the bake for the normal map and it came out the right color! Progress!

However; even though I think the normal map looks correct now, the high poly model is still not showing when I plug in my map on my low poly model

Any ideas on what could be glitching it up?

Thanks for any assistance

You can’t see materials in solid shading, you need to change it to material preview or rendered with the buttons in the top right corner of the viewport.

Thank you so much! For some reason that didn’t even occur to me.

All works now!
