xnormal maps

pongo1967

heres a pic,


whats with the seams? used xnormal for normal maps. In UDK material editor, whenever i toggle the normal map off, the seams disapear.

Is your green channel inverted?

pongo1967

ummm no?
How do u do that,

BTW, i just changed the normal to a random tilable normal and no seam is visible <--- not solving the issue

pongo1967

I fliped the whole texture horizontally, it seams to have fixed it however I still see some - little - seam , maybe its simply my diffuse
definitely helped, could u explain why?

pongo1967

its not the diffuse, I just tested it with a simple gray material and no seam is visible..

JamesWild

I've never used XNormal but apparrently you should have a +Y and -Y option somewhere. Swap that.

Don't flip the texture itself.

If you can't find the option in XNormal, invert the green channel of the normal map so dark is light, light is dark and grey is grey.

Ok, just say it in the option, thanks
