Strange seams between meshes UE4
polycounter lvl 2
Hi there Polycount,
For a school project I am trying to learn both PBR and Unreal Engine 4.
After making a couple of modular wall pieces and importing them into UE4 I'm experiencing some weird (what I guess are light) seams between my wall meshes.
My question is if someone else has had this problem or a similar one. Or even better, a possible solution.
Things I have tried:
- Made a second uv set with enough padding.
- Bumped the lightmap res all the way up to 256 to see if that was my problem.
- Edited the normals inside of 3ds Max to make them point in exactly the same direction.

I've also noticed the problem isn't there when viewed in Marmoset

Is the UE4 image after a light build?

Yes, the seams appear before and after the light bake.

Thank you very much for the links. I have been searching for similar problems, but I guess the keywords I used were wrong because I didn't come across any similar fixes!
