map looks normal in 3ds max and uvs seem ok but in marmoset toolbag it looks messed up

MITVIZ

this one happens when i export as fbx,as obj all looks ok, is there anything i should be doing different? in max it all looks ok too as you can see below

When you say that the UV's look okay, do you mean you've re-imported the .fbx file and checked it, or merely that the source looks fine?

Check that you don't have multiple UV channels; OBJ only supports the one while fbx supports multiple, so you might accidentally be exporting a second UV map with junk uv's, which might explain why you're getting this with fbx but not obj. Otherwise, check your fbx export options.

MITVIZ

aha, so your saying is better to reimport the fbx and check, will do that, what is significant there in the fbx options that i have to have though?

MITVIZ

o wow, when i imported the model in max the uvs looks messed up the same but when i checked the uv editor everything looks fine as how i mapped it originally in max, 

MITVIZ

anyone wants to have a look you can here, i uploaded the fbx file, also is it better to export fbx for games or obj? they will be used in unity but i notice fbx files are significantly larger than just a obj and the texture maps

Hit relax on those poly's and you'll see what's up. I had this issue when I transfered UV's, did you do this at any point? Or do a mirror? Sometimes Max seems to get hung up on vertex order etc. The UV map looks fine but it's not what Max is using, in a sense. I'm not sure how to fix this other than to relax and manually fix problem areas. For what it's worth, this is pretty rare.

Hi @Axi5  here is the model if you wan to have a look, not sure if it but funny thing is it looks correct in max originally https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xalwz1bhocf42fp/AAALr236onZyYmaQ11iE82nOa?dl=0

Ah I should have mentioned, I already took a look at it before my previous post, try relaxing it for yourself to see what I mean (I use TexTools).

I think this might be a bug in FBX export in 3dsmax 2015, prior to export, you should convert your mesh to editable mesh, then back to editable poly. If you export it then it should be ok.

hmmmmmmm, thanks @Axi5, i will investigate this thoroughly as its a source of pain the last few days, thanks also for that @huffer , thats a good tip
