3DC > LW normal map issue


Recommended Posts

Hi

i did a rough test sculpt, retoped it, marked seams, unwrapped, and exported to paint room using merge with NM (per pixel) and later as a lightwave object. but when i open the object file in lightwave layout it seems to be responding to the lightwave lights differently (screen shot). when i tried inverting X rather than the Y inside nodes the light works properly but the depth of the normal maps get inverted. can anyone help/explain where i went wrong with this ??

sorry I said something stupid is invertX as you said ^^

I'm working with this model is fully 3dcoat (except the NormalMap with xNormal), I encounter difficulties, particularly with UV's look at the throat...

I also encountered other problems with the export format .lwo of 3dcoat ... I think open a thread on this project
