Hey there.
I uploaded my mesh model with texture made in substance painter 2 (i exported textures as PBR Metal Rough.I noticed soem detail was lost, because sansar phong shader does not support height maps. Any ideas for some other kind of export? Or adding height map some
how?
icarus: the phong shaders are Specular Glossiness so that may contribute to the problem. Also, are you creating in Blender? As I understand it some Blender height maps are not supported at this time.
Ok Thank you. Yes i am making mesh in Blender so i guess that is the problem. Do you have any idea if there will be support for height maps?
Hopefully, we'll be able to manually create materials in Sansar and not rely on Upload only...
Can you take a screenshot of how you have your Material setup in Blender?
There will be support for Blender. Soon hopefully.
Are you putting the Normal map into the Geometry Normal slot like this? you know im with 3dsmax, so i don't know much about Blender.. , didn't know if there are more that one place to put a normal map to.

Yes i did it like this but i guess its the height map that is not supported yet, i m sure this is causing the problems.
Height maps are "baked" into normal map by default by substance painter so you don't really need them. Height map it's really just the old bump map and its used to give it a bit more "depth" to the material but in no way it's really required. Your problem seems related with something else like not using the proper slots for each map.
Also keep in mind that metallness it's broken in Sansar and the environment reflections from roughness isn't there either so your mesh will never look the same than painter, not even close, till those issues are fixed.
