[SOLVED] 3dsMax to SP weird baking issue

BramScrum

Hey all

So I know this forum get's flooded with baking issues but this one is an issue I've never encountered myself and I really ran out of options right now (except for ''start from scratch'').

A bit of background. I have a highpoly model existing of several meshes with turbosmooth on exploded for a clean and easy bake on a low poly mesh.



This image does most of the explaining really. I tried all the obvious ones like: Reset X from, reapply turbosmooth, attach mesh to a fresh cube, attach the mesh to another element of my highpoly, check my UV isles, export settings, bake settings...

Anyone encountered the same issue before? It's probably faster to start those meshes from scratch again but would love to know if this is a common issue/resolvable/avoidable or this is one of these rare cases of ''yo wtf software??''

You can download my high/low poly, substance and max file here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1p7jfwNXLXorNsX_S-XGU5q5VrxpTGst7?usp=sharing
(I know I've got some other baking issues but those still need to be resolved but shouldn't be a problem)

Thanks!

[SOLVED] --> Collapse the modifier stack and make sure Isoline Display is turned off

I had something similar to that, For the hp model. Export the hp model with the turbosmooth collapsed (obviously untick isoline display button) and on the fbx export option, untick turbosmooth. 

Or you could try exporting the high as a .obj keep but the lp fbx .

These thing are always fun to solve So many things haha

Thanks! I will try it when I get home. Already remade most of the problem meshes. Can't believe I haven't tried collapsing the modifier stack or export it as another file.

It's indeed one of those cases that could be anything.

Thanks again!

Best of luck ! Hope it works. Most of the time its us and not the software's fault sadly

Cheers bud, collapsing the modifier did the trick. Something I'll remember from now on. Thanks for the help!

  No problem man

Try it out as a OBJ export, had the same problem, exported it as a obj and that did the trick.  what you can do to avoid collapsing the Turbosmooth, is adding a Edit poly modifier above the turbosmoothed version.
