xNormal Cage Problem

javcop

Hey guys, has anyone had an issue where xNormal repeatedly tells you the verts on your cage don't match your low poly? I've made cages in the past with no problems, but now, no matter what I do, I keep getting this error. I've tried exporting and re-exporting, just doing a standard cube, even using the same mesh as its own cage, and yet it still says I have mismatching verts. Also tried reinstalling xNormal to no avail.

Programs used: Maya, Zbrush, xNormal

File format has been obj. I appreciate any help!

Since you are using Maya, have you tried the SBM format for your export ?
This format came with the xNormal plugin for Maya. It should triangulate you meshes correctly during the export and therefore avoid you the mismatch problem.

I had this problem at my school computers. Triangulating before exporting as usual did the trick for me.

I have messed around with sbm's a bit, but I'll give it another go. Never tried triangulating the meshes before baking. Won't be able to try your suggestions out til new year's, but I'll post my results once I do. Thanks!

So realized that what I thought was an error was just a warning. Strange how in the past I never got that message when I used a cage, but now I get it all the time.
