How to apply faces to objects from Blender 2.9 to Second Life?

[Oskas]

Sorry for the fairly noob question, but I'm really struggling with this one. I've successfully created normal, diffuse UV maps from Blender 2.9. I did check the export to SL option.

However, when I import the mesh object into Second Life and the texture maps, they are not aligning to the faces. In fact the mesh, which is a single prim, doesn't appear to have any set face in SL.

How is it that I've been able to create UV maps and apply textures to faces in Blender 2.9 but despite clicking the export to SL option, SL won't recognise where the faces are on the object in SL?

I know I've missed a step, but what?

(note: I'm just using the normal as diffuse so you can see how it's not lined up)

It might have something to do with unwrapping, but it looks so different in 2.9. Thanks for any help.

What about the horizontal offset of - 0.4?

It would help to see the UV layout (not the texture) as well as the other side of the mesh so it matches with the actual texture. Your second screenshot is showing the backside which adds too many things that could be going wrong. And of course, remove the offset.

If you study the pictures carefully you'll see the offset Arton spotted explains it all. .0.4 offset is almost halfway across the surface and that's exactly what we see here.

The offset is only half the story. The normal map is mirrored in relation to the object. So in addition to resetting the offset to 0.0, you should also set a horizontal scale of -1.0 which mirrors the normal map.
