MetaHuman Skeletal Mesh Seam Issue (Maya Export)

I found this post, although it’s using blender, but I think you can find similar functions in Maya to transfer the normal value for the edge!

Seams on multi-part skeletal character

Hey! Here is how I solved it in Blender, without horrible work arounds: I used a Data Transfer Modifier to transfer the Custom Normals data from the body to the head mesh. I’ve limited the modifier to a vertex group, that is only the boundary edges of the head mesh. Normals before and after: [image] [image] Also, make sure you displace the cage for normal baking along the custom normal (via displace modifier).
