1uv seams around hands...

Rockley Bonner

Ive got these UV seams specifically around the fingers. Is there a way to make this better? I used Xnormal to bake.

I appreciate it thanks!

Can we see your normalmap?

anyone?

When you baked out your map did you move the duplicate hand uv shells off to the side ?

first and foremost....you should really approach your UV layout a bit more. there's lots of wasted space. as for the seam prob...not too sure.

Possibly the edge padding is overlapping on the fingers?

If the seam shows up in your occlusion map then it's probably an issue with not enough padding in your bake. I like to get around an 8 pixel edge padding in a 1024 texture.

Marmoset has an issue rendering overlapping UV space correctly, so make sure you offset the UVs of one of the hands by 1 full square.

some of it ive used the default flat normal for so it shows up as an empty space.

Offsetting overlapping uv chunks is key for baking normals and AO, and can get rid of alot of errors.
