3DS Max normal map error
Hey! When using a normal map in 3DS Max (offline rendering) I get this shading error even if I just use a normal map with a flat colour. For some reason it works just fine in UDK, but not in 3DS Max. The normal map is baked with standard settings. I know it's not a game related problem, but I thought I could ask anyway. -

Looks like a smoothing group problem, but max really isn't my forte. -
Re: 3DS Max normal map error
Where you baked your normals? In Max? or in other apps? Did you used Handplane for the UDK normalmap? How your uvs/smoothing groups have set up? How it looks in the 3dsMax viewport? -
Re: 3DS Max normal map error
Sorry but I forgot to write "with your normalmap" :D So is it looks good in the viewport when you apply your normalmap to it? Have you tried using reset Xform? If not, then try it and rebake it after that. -
Re: 3DS Max normal map error
Yeah, I baked it in Max. And I didn't use handplane for the UDK normal map. I used textools to set up my smoothing groups per UVW island. This is what it looks like in the viewport -
Re: 3DS Max normal map error
I've tried using reset Xform, but it doesn't help. And well, I'm going to use this 3D model in a matte painting scene, so it doesn't matter if it looks good in the viewport. It has to look good when rendering. I've tried using a flat normal map, but it still isn't working, so it's probably not the normal map that isn't…
