XNormal baking artefacts

Lemonpeel10 · Apr 2014

Ive been having issues with baking inside XNormal. It seems that objects that are close to each other (with no intersecting cages) have issues where meshes are reflected onto other objects.

In the image you can see that an object that was far away from the other has been projected onto the normal map.

- I'm using the explosive bake technique

- xform and face normals have been reset

Any help would be great

thanks

I don't know the solution for this but you may try to:
-change the scale of the object
-change the value inside xnormal - low[...]-> maximum[...]distance, from 0.5 to 0.01 ?

You can massage the min/max values but I always find creating a custom cage will give you better control over errors like this.

If you don't actually have a cage file assigned it will do this.

Thanks for the help guys. I didn't have the cage set up correctly. Thanks again
