3DSMAX - Projection Modifier Problems

Rawbert

First time i'm using the projection modifier to create a normal map and
I seem to have some weird issues...

I've created a lamp, started with the low poly version and basically duplicated it and changed it into a high poly model / added details in 3DSMAX.

After that, I simply placed them on the 0,0,0 xyz location and added the projection modifier to the low poly model via "render to texture"

When the projection modifier has been added, I'm basicly expecting a clean box around the object, however, it's completed blown up and almost "unfixable"

I've tried the same technique on a simple sphere, and then it seems to be working perfectly, so its obvious there is something wrong with my lamp.

However i have NO clue what possibly could be wrong.. anyone else familiar with this issue ?

under the cage section in the projection modifier, hit Reset. and then from there you can dial in the push ammount.

Press reset, then re-adjust your push settings to suit.

.Wiki

There is a reset button in the modifier, just press it and then push it by raising the "amount" under "push".

Edit: ahh too slow
