xNormal wont bake floating geometry on both sides

mobpapst

Hey guys,

i got a little model with some floats on both side. the floats are the same and each side is unwrapped seperatly. when i bake with max i get the floats on my normal map on both sides. but when i do this in xNormal only one side is baked. i dont know why. the hp floats are also not seen in the xNormal 3d viewer. i exported the hp the lp with cage as ".sbm". what iam doing wrong?

Here you can see on two pictues what i got exactly. you can see two objects from both sides. one side is with the baked ones the other one got none.





i hope you can help me. i just want to understand why this is happening.

Check for inverted normals on both HP and LP.

mobpapst

checked it. both side are correct

Are you using a mirror modifier in max or something to duplicate the floaters? This could be causing flipped normals on export. Collapse and reset xform, or load the highpoly in toolbag and look at it there to check.

i used a mirror modifier for real in max to get them on the other side. i collapsed now all and resettet the xForm but i got still the same result

i started the pc and max new. now it works. dunno why it worked now but EarthQuake you was right. thanks a lot
