Normal Map Shadow Issues

[Munjii (Jérémie)]

Hello, I am working on this project and when I applied the Normal Maps it make the shadows very sharp.

I can reduce this, but when i import the model in Unity, the problem appears again… Someone knows why and how I can fix this?

(The version with and without Normals)

can you show the node setup and the image used for the normal?

There are the nodes and the normal map

this may be due to your normal map. the “Flat” parts should be 128, 128, 255, could be sharpening the shadow terminus b/c its reflecting differently than the actual geometry
