xNormal baking problems

mobpapst

Hey guys,

i made a knife hp/lp etc and now i want to bake my normal map in xNormal. the map looks fine but i got one problem. the handle of the knife is symetrical but some details are different on each side, but no all. therefore i unwrapped both side seperatly. When i bake in xNormal (exported lp and hp als sbm - the lp with cage) the details who are the same on both side only get shown on one site of the normal map. why? the different details get shown. i tested a short bake in max and it worked in there. is there any option i've to activate in xNormal or whats my mistake?

Hmm, maybe your HP and LP are not occupying the same space in xNormal? Make sure your pivots are in the same spot and reset xforms as well, that could cause issues.

i pulled the same hp and lp elements away from each other to get a better cage result in 3ds max. maybe thats the mistake for xNormal?

For xNormal your HP, LP, and cage all need to be on top of each other. You can check this in xNormal's 3D viewer.
