   Yes I think you were right about the different baking methods! I wasn't aware you could bake diffuse in xNormal, but I got it working and the maps line up now. I didn't want to use the default UVs generated in Mudbox, so I was taking the low poly into max for unwrapping and reimporting it to transfer the diffuse, but being…

   Hi guys! I'm currently experimenting with my workflow in mudbox. What I'm aiming to do is this, start a sculpt in mudbox without having to create the original mesh in 3ds Max -> define the shape -> sculpt the high poly and paint the texture-> export a lower level mesh and UV map it -> bake the normals with xnormal ->…
