I can confirm the problem. Switching back to XYZ encoding solves the issue.

Thanks for reporting.

TIL: there's an alternative normal map encoding in Unity :)

Unfortunately glTF has XYZ normals on board (see glTF 2.0 spec). There's three solutions I can think of:

  1. Stick with XYZ. Proven to work (feel free to educate me what's the benefit of DXTnm. Appreciated)
  2. Convert XYZ normal map textures to NM textures at runtime. This would come at a certain performance cost though.
  3. Use NM normal maps in glTF, along with an extension that indicates that. I know, for example, that you can create two component normals KTX BasisLZ files (see --normal-mode parameter of the ktx CLI tool). Only a solution if you're in control of the glTFs and willing to edit them all.

In any case, a warning of some sorts would be helpful as well as a mention in the docs.
