Normal Map seams... How do I get rid of it?

manilamerc

Hey guys I'm using the Xoliul Shader and I get these seams. I have not touched baking normals in a while...I do remember when I was in college getting rid of seams using Zbrush. However I don't remember how to do that, plus I remember not being too easy. Do you guys know any easy way or any way at all to get rid of seams?

Here's my guy. He has seams on his hats and boots.

Did you offset the overlapped UVs?

@Erik What do you mean by that? I don't recall any overlapped UV's.Sorry if I sound like a noob

Oops sorry, doesn't apply here. I see the boot seam is from the same UV shell.

First thing, try inverting the Green channel in Photoshop.

Second, what software are you using to bake, and what software to show it? Various viewports work better with certain baking tools.

Third, have you looked into Handplane?

I'm using Xnormal, and I use the Xoliul Shader in 3ds max. And No I have never heard of Handplane

It looks like some sort of flipped normals issue. Try resetting xforms on it. Or exporting it as an obj and bring it back in. Also could be the version of max you are using. I know Xoliul shader doesn't work for later versions of max.

sweet I fixed it I just turned on the Gamma LUT

Rendering > Gamma/LUT Setup > check Enable

then I overrided the normals
