Weird normal map artefacts
Doing some test bakes for fun and encountered this weird issue. For some reason I get "breaking" artefacts in my normal map bakes when I bake Zbrush's highpoly into a simple low poly plane. For some reason, I couldn't recreate this issue with a different highpoly mesh. I bake in Xnormal and save in TGA. If anyone knows how… -
Re: Xnormal problems - use cage only projects outward?
Roger. Well... without that info gonna be hard to figure what's happening...

Re: Normal map issue
I clearly remember having a similar problem to this a few months ago, but forgive me I can't remember how I managed to fix this.... I remember I was working with Maya's normals setting.... have you tried softening the edge of the lowpoly before baking the normal map?
