Ambient Occlusion Problem (Render to Texture)

Bigley · 10-03-2009, 03:59 PM

Okay... I am Rendering to texture in 3ds Max. I am projection mapping my Normal map. It worked fine. Now I am doing an Ambient Occlusion and there are pieces of the UVW Map missing... what the?

Anyone run into this or know about how to fix it. I really have tried everything.

I have tried resetting the projection cage, I have tried Merging into a new file, I have made sure I am doing everything right. :P

What am I doing wrong?

okay... I am stupid. I needed to flip those UV's.

I am taking a break thanks for your cooperation.

Damnit, you answered it before I got to feel smug

That's pretty much the reason why I always render a diffuse map by default in render to texture even if I'm not going to use it as it becomes very obvious very quickly if something is flipped
