1. Baking Errors When Using the Cage and Material ID Separation

   

   Topic by Xelan101 · Mar 2012 · Home› Technical Talk

   So I've been trying to get this thing to bake since last night. No matter what I seem to do it gives me flat errors on almost half the model every bake. At this point I don't know what could be wrong -I've built and rebuilt the cage multiple times, and it always appears to be completely covering the high at all points…

   Computron, I thought that was the issue too and I actually checked and fixed them before posting here, but it still was doing that. Unstoppablex the material ID separation eliminates cage overlap much the same way exploding the mesh does The good news is I got it to work, the bad news is I have no idea why it worked that…

   is your low poly a completely solid mesh? if not, it could have the cage intersecting each other. if that's the problem try separate the mesh so there isnt cage overlapping

   I've had similar problems where the color of the material ID matched, but the number was different. after you go over the max material IDs it starts to cycle back from the beginning, but only with their colors. recheck your material ID numbers (Not the colors). If this wasn't the issue, post the max file.
