Xnormal normal map problem

Hikabuzy

Hello, 

when I'm trying to use xnormal to bake my normal map, i get these results. i have my LP model, the cage and my HP model. these objects are from a tutorial except the hp model, so it should be working, but its not. I get some overlapping on xnormal and some objects aren't showing.
I tried all the options for hours but nothing changes.
if somebody could take a look at my models I would be grateful.

Thanxx

I would suggest looking at the high poly and low poly models in the xnormal mesh viewer.  Most of the time when this happens to me, its because some faces are flipped and facing the wrong way.

You can reset xforms and turn on backface culling in max to test as well, but xnormal viewer will show exactly how xnormal is reading the mesh.

hello

no, my normals are good and not flipped. Could my problem come from my hp model of zbrush?

In Maya, check from the ortho views in wireframe that your low/high silhouette is matching up. It's very important to ensure both surfaces are closely matched for more predictable bakes.

Hello, musashidan, 

I use a cage for my LP model. I'ts matching perfectly. I am going to check some other options.
I keep you updated if something changes.

Thanks guys!

Post them and I'll take a look. Just post a separate .fbx file for both high and low.

Hi,

Thank you for proposing your help and Sorry for my late reply. I had a lot of work lately so I ended up restarting it from the beginning and it worked out!
