    Tried both Handplane and Substance Designer, the result is the same.

    Here's how it looks in Designer:



    Here's how it looks in Unity:



    Here's how it looks in Unreal (converted in Mikkt):

    not possible with this asset, I use a world-space map with rounded edge shader baked in and convert it to a normal map. Xnormal is synced with Mikkt, not Unity. Tangents aren't imported from a 3d package, so it should be all right.

    You need to Import tangents into unity, and make sure to export the model with tangents and the same version (possibly) of the 3d program you used to export the model (with tangents) that you used to bake the map...

    I'll try UnityTSpace but I doubt that tangents should be exported because it would be contrary to synched workflow afaik. Modo doesn't export tangents anyway.
