Maya Transfer Map problem

marcosfd

I'm trying to bake a normal map in maya using the transfer map option, but when I try to adjust the size of the envelope it's not working :S

I have checked the normal for both the Low and the High, and they are not inverted.

Check in the outliner, there might already be an 'envelope' mesh attached to your lowpoly, delete that and then set the "Display" back to envelope.

There is only one envelope.

One thing that I noticed is that if I put a value in the "search envelope", hit the close button and open it again the size of the envelope will change.

Just a bug, I've had this issue too. If you want it to be exact, make your own cage and use xNormal! Otherwise set the bake size/quality low and do some test bakes until it looks good.

Ok thank you.

One more question, if I want to tweak the cage using maya I can't right? because of the bug

Not sure this is what you're looking for but you can create a custom envelope using the low poly.
Add your low poly to the "Target Mesh" section, add the cage (duplicated low poly and tweaked) to this tab as well, right click the cage file name and set "Use Selection as Envelope".

Marcosfd, no you can still edit the cage, you just can't see it until you close and re-open the transfer maps window.
