Textures seams to change the shape

Support Basics & Interface

Hello,

I am creating an animation with a medical pill. I bought a material / texture for it that seems to work fine with it. Only problem is that as soon as I apply the texture, the round shape of the pill seems to become pointy.

It looks good do me in ortographic mode, also the wireframe (as far as I can tell) looks alright, but it looks a bit like a pyramid as soon as it gets the texture. Can anyone tell me what I got to change to get a nice rounded shape, even with applied material / texture?

I put the caps to “shape smooth”. If I change to “shape flat” it looks to rough.

Thank you!

hey @andigesi do you use normal texture

Hi, thanks for your quick reply.
Yes, I bought a material from poliigon.com.
I am using the normal, the color and the glossy pictures.

When I remove the NormalMap the problem is gone. Unfortunately the normal map gives the pill the right texture and was the main reason for me to buy it.

Is there a chance to use the normal map and solve this kind of problem?

I even heard to switch to non-color in the tutorial, but I didnot know where to find the button.
Great, that was it. Thank you so much!!
