Hi,

I have been modeling a new model of a female jacket in max 2008 and sculpted some finer vrinkles in mudbox.
When I extract the normal map it has a lot of wrongly generated normals on the seam edges.
See the attached images.
I have laid out the UVs in max 2008 whitin 0-1 space on the base mesh correctly,my head started to fall apart after I tried some 2000 different settings in the baker.
Please help.

try changing choose samples to test both sides

Take it or leave it

Tried that yep,no go.

ok, are you baking between two meshes or are you extracting to a lower subdiv? If its the latter try extracting between two different meshes. I found that solved quite a few problems I have had.

Take it or leave it

Hi,

I am extracting the normals to a subD 0 mesh from a subD 4.
This is the same mesh,only subdivided in Mudbox.

In stead of “Furthest outside” use “Closest to Mesh” as your sample method.
