Hello! perhaps I should post here.

I stil didn't found response.
My matter is that I see seams under my 3D logs. I have the same matter in max, maya and torque engine!
I have absolutly no matter in UVs, normals, mesh, so it comes from Zbrush...

here is some screen to remind you the seam broke in normal maps:

it renders:

notice this is NOT a symmetry matter, cause the back is OK, not the shoulder.

here is the belly seam:

here is what happend under Maya: the same thing!

here is my CLEAN UVs (no inverted UVs, no double UVs...)

no hole in mesh, not a renderer matter, not a computer matter, not a soft matter, not a face normal, smooth group, bug, double, inverted face, UVs nothing of alll this... so please don't ask me to check my UVs, to check my model, my normals, it's already done and it's all clean.

and the normal maps render like in maya and max in torque engine.

any idea, please?

I would be gratefull, If I could use zbrush to create this bad rat.

Hey everyone, I hope someone can help me with my problem. I have been looking through all the forums and I havent been able to find a solution as to why Zmapper acts up.

1. I created a low poly model in max 8 , my UVs are also laid our well, and no overlapping, then I export to Zbrush 2.
2. I add the sub divisions and start to sculpt, also using projection master.
3. I set the sub divisions back to level 1
4. I use Zmapper with the 3DS Max 8_TangentSpace_BestQuality.zmp setting (is this the propper setting or should I just use the default?)
5. I go to the 'Normal and Cavity Map' tab, click 'Flip Green', and hit 'Create Normal Map' button.
6.** Now this is the problem area, once I hit the button, the normals get displayed, but renders in a weird symmetrical fashion, and ends up looking like it just exploded.

Am I missing a critical step somewhere? Also, are there any settings I should firstinput into Zbrush ? (a graphics setting etc?)

hahah, thanks again guys.

Greetings, I'm currently having this weird artifact with my Normalmap using Zmapper. So basically I exported the low poly mesh from Maya 2008, UV unwrapped and all. Now I sculpted the high res mesh and moved down to level2 subdivision for Normalmap generation and this is what I got.

Notice the red circled part where you can see the stretched triangle artifact? They shouldn't be there, so what would've caused this, would anyone please help me?
