    Overlaps in normal map image

    Hi,

    I think I've missed a step, but not sure what. I'm getting overlaps in the normal image


    I also got some bad distortion, but I think I know what happened there as the area on the normal map is rounded, I'll look at the edges and angles.


    Should the normal map image have the same layout as the packed islands in the uv map?

    Cheers


    Mike

      Hey Mike, the normal map should indeed be the same as the UV layout. If it's not, double check if you have multiple maps in the object data properties and make sure the correct one has the camera icon enabled - that's the one that will get rendered. 

      Hope that helps!
