Xnormal and miltiple textures
polycounter lvl 14
Hello , I am usually using Xnormal to bake AO and I was wondering if thereis a way tobake an object that has different textures , rather than having to bake one at time , I can't find an entry for multiple entries. <br>Thanks for any answer.<br>

For example I have a model that uses different textures and so uvmaps if I load that model and have only one output it will overwrite and overlap the backed AO , instead I wanted to have each piece of the model with its own uvmap to be baked on a different texture .
How can I do that?
No, Xnormal can only output a single bake at a time. You can of course add multiple meshes(provided the UVs don't overlap) and XN will combine the bake to that single output.
Yes, but if your going to do that and want multiple normal maps as your output then why not maximise you UV space on each model instead of chopping up a single output and sacrificing precious UV space?
Anyway I have a max limit of 1024 x 1024 texture size.
What I'm saying is if you bake all the meshes to a comped 4K map(for example) and chop it apart into 1K maps then you are losing out
on valuable UV space.
