It seems like if I had baked maps inverted in some zones. This happened obiously in 3DS Max when I unwraped it. First I had done unwarp of half of the body and then I did a simetry of UV's. In this process I had choosen some simetry of left side on right side or viceversa. It happens also because I put some part of the texture capsize,to profit better UV map space.

So sorry for this EPIC FAIL. As I said I will try to fix it mirroring in Photoshop, perhaps this has two issues, we will lost asymetry details of model and also a lot of UV map space. This is the only thing I can do without changing geometry and UV space.

Let me know what do you think about it.

Well, as i'm lazy as shit, i'd prefer rather changing texture without touching geometry since i really don't want to rig same model twice. But, if it is inevitable... well, shit.

Forget Basilisk atm. I have to rework it, I have been trying to fix it yesterday and this morning mirroring one side to other inside photoshop but I had some issues with lighting (worst than before). I'm also reading posts on forums (polycount and 3Dpoder) about this issue and how to fix it, but atm I don't have a solution for that.

I think I will have to rework all textures again. The most annoying is that Xoliul Shader "blured" some issues of seams (I don't know why) and that is why I didn't noticed it before, because I changed material inside Max with standar material and textures, holy shit,all seams pop up very clear.

As I said I want to kill myselft (I'm sure you too :frown: ) and now I'm depressed with that.

Relax, Cupside. Just fix the textures and we'll get gavlig onto this. The color scheme is fine, just replicate what you had before.

Yes, don't kill yourself, please! Just chill for a few days and take a look at the problem again, maybe it can be solved without violence :)

Another thing that I found is that glow map has produced also some tricky and nasty bugs on seams and I don't know why.

Futhermore I saw that .obj file I send to you has all polys separated as seams and I don't know why that happened, it seems a bug of GoZ and 3DS Max (as far I am concerned I read it on forums). Could Gavlig check that his basilisk model has that issue? Thank you.

I'm working on it mate, when I have something I will upload new textures.

I post here some related forums/articles I was reading to find a solution to this problem:

http://www.svartberg.com/tutorials/arti ... lmaps.html
http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap/#Mo ... -Poly_Mesh
http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/720 ... st27166791
http://www.ericchadwick.com/examples/pr ... 2.html#wts

It seems an error of tangents that are splited in seams, then I got in my UV maps 2 tanget at same pixel, and this is the main issue. Now I know what's the issue but I dont know how to fix it :_(

Would it be practical to retexture the same mesh?
