How long is it supposed to take to export a normal map. Mudbox 2010 has been at 75% for thirty minutes no matter what settings I use. I end up killing it because it isn’t responding.
2 subdivisions about 62,000 quads
1024x1024
I’ve tried the default search distance and I’ve tried bumping it up to 4.

I checked my uv’s they’re not too close to the edges or other shells. There’s no overlapping or flipped uv’s.
think some of your shells are to close together…
mudbox needs space to bleed… most of the time bad uvs are causing these problems…
Definitely the case. Some of the shells on the left are almost touching the border. Mud is VERY fussy about UVs. A 1K map at that poly count should only take a few seconds.
I adjusted my uvs’ and I also found I did have some overlapping uv’s. I haven’t tried exporting again, because I can’t do a 2nd subdivision without mudbox crashing.
Have you made sure that your geometry is clean? No rats’ nests(non-welded overlapping verts) or double sided faces ,etc. Bad geometry can also cause all sorts of issues.
