    Hey, sorry for the slow response on this. I don't check PC as much on the weekend. That looks like the same bug that was found recently. We should have a beta build with a fix for it in the next few weeks. You can fix the issue by not smoothing around extremely accute angles. Obviously in the long term that is not good enough, there will be a patch to prevent this from happening.

    Also, if anyone finds an issue with their normal map output and they go to the trouble to do some testing and can't figure out the cause- just shoot me an email so I can take a look. alecmoody@gmail.com

    Hmm, this is interesting Just a few things to check I guess:

    -Are you baking the OS Normals with the exact same low poly mesh that you are putting through Handplane?

    -Are all the normals pointing out the right way on the .obj mesh that you put through handplane? (exporting error maybe)

    -Is there any sneaky doubled up geometry?

    Just some suggestions, I am sure there are some much more experienced users that might have a better idea then me.

    did you also check if you dont have an overlapping uv? what i usually do is move all the repeated parts to the left so it doesn mess my bake.

    Here's a list of submissions that need correction, I formatted them and put the links in so all you need to do is copypaste into their respective spot (the corrections are in order from top of the page to the bottom). All images are resized, and the last one is a submission that was missed so I just put everything there. Thanks!

    Wow, I didn't expect to place in this comp, that's great! Can we find out how the judges voted?

    Grats to the other fellows that placed! 5 slots barely seems like enough.
