Maya Normal Mapping Problem

Calshatra

So I was practicing making Normal Maps, and I made a high-res cube model in Z-brush. I then brought the cube into Maya and used the Transfer Maps tool.

After I was done, this was the result:



So I was wondering why the poly lines are showing up om the cube.

maybe its not enough padding/edge bleed on the uv islands?

Looks like edge softening/hardening issues to me. Make sure your high poly is completely smoothed, and your low poly has hard edges where you have UV seams, with every other edge being soft.
