Normal to height comes out smooth with no details in substance sampler, why?
There aren't too many options I can fiddle with so why am I losing all the details?
Thanks!

    Hey ​@RomanYa !

    I did some tests and the issue is coming from the green background!
    If you had the possibility to remove it it would work normally, but the filter is not made with that color in mind for the normal map and it is affecting the results greatly

    Thank you, that was the issue. for some reason the background color interferes with the normal to height layer process. just exported it with the normal background and it works!
