Imported Normal maps unable to erase tool with brush on model

Hey guys, 

 

We have 3D-Coat at work now and im blocked on a asset im creating so wonder if you can help.

 

Steps:

1. import normal map into 3d-coat

2. Attempt to use erase tool with normal map setting and use brush on 100% on model

 

Result: Nothing happens or a very light effect, not 100% erasing.

 

Expected: Using the erase tool deletes all under the brush when passed over the model.

 

 

If I create a new layer and paint with normal then use the erase tool it works correctly.

 

Thanks

 

Matt

Starting with the obvious is the best place.

So layer is selected, im in 4.5 and using the Erase tool with normal selected.

 

 

If you import a normal map then try and erase it using the brush tool on the model does it work for you

I believe I can confirm this because I can't find a way of erasing parts of external normal map too. (BETA20)

 

That is exactly my issue, When importing an external normal map you cannot erase it using the erase brush over the model like you should be able to.  Can you confirm and is there a way to solve this

I really need a work around for this bug, Its causing me porblenms in the studio.  I have another example at work that I need to modify an external normal map on the model.

How far are we away from a fix on this?

 

If there is no current fix yet or work around, can we increase the severity of the mantis bug to high from minor?  

 

Thanks
