[Mudbox] Texture Baking issue

Hello,

I did a test on normal maps before to do it on my low poly models (I'm using 3ds Max for the low rez model).

1. I started by creating a sphere and I unwraped it.

2. I exported the scene as an .obj and imported it on Mudbox.

3. I did small add (subdivision at level 3) and I started to baking my texture.

4. I didn't check the .tif files and I switched quickly on 3ds Max to render my model.

When I discovered my render I was surprised by the result, so I checked my .tif files and I saw that the issue were from the Mudbox Baking Texture tools...

Do someone have the solution to fix its ?

I know how baking normal map from 3ds Max... But I had to bake my normal map with Mudbox for better organics details...

Hum.. I will try with xNormal 3.10.5 !

[EDIT]: Hum... xnormal generated me the normal and the displacement map rightly, but both map merged in the same file...

And the render doesn't fit with the originale high poly model...

I did a Reset xform on my low poly model without change...

I fixed my issue...

then post how you did or this thread is useless D:

Oh sure !

I found two way to fix my issue:

- The first one was to change "Highest" to "None" for the Low model in the Baking menu properties.

- The second one had highpoly sphere with messed up UV's I used to generate the normal map. So I just import my 'test_low.obj" from the rar file available here (with working uv's) into my "test_high.mud" scene... I rename it so I don't make a mistake when selecting it and have it in "Low resolution Mesh" box and rerender it.

And the Normal map was working as hell !
