Xnormal AO issue
polycounter lvl 8
Hi polycount.
Hopefully this is the proper area to post a query I have regarding baking out an AO using Xnormal. Using high to lowpoly.
I've browsed the internet, and have found a few similar issues, however their methods of fixing it don't seem to work for me. I imagine its something quite simple.
The Normal map baked out fine really, but the ambient occlusion is coming out like this.
As you see its very dark on just a few select pieces, the rest are more representative of an AO, minus patchy shading and being a bit to bright. Additionally the shading accross the hole map is very patchy etc. as you see.![:\](https://polycount.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/confused.png ":\")
Any ideas?
Much thanks!

Here is image. It just looks weird to me, also circled an area that specifically is a bit odd.
Something feels/appears off about it in general. :shifty:
Thank you for help!

Also, I don't see much shading on the outer areas where it meets the lip of the paneling.
(I hope this is descriptive enough, having a bad words day, and everything here is either a panel or a casing...)
I did not see any double face issue, I'll scan over it again though.
Yes the bake is exploded;
The panel is a separate peice of geometry as you see to the far right of the explode. I thought for some reason, the overhang in was casting weird shadows down onto the computer screen area, so I did at one point try moving things around but nothing changed. It doesn't seem sensible that the small panel has no weird shadowing, but it should considering where its placed.
Thanks for read!
