Hi
today i have buy 3d coat licence on steam

i imported my cave rock textured and exported.

The weird thing is, GG understand FBX files from 3Dcoat why....mistery, and he also understand the textures coming from 3Dcoat... but i have a problem, when i look at my object inside GG.
the fbx from 3dcoat works perfectly, it is NOT the case with 3ds max 2017 and fbx exports...!
so here you can see my textured object inside 3dcoat.
then you can see the imported object inside gg, it works from 3d coat....
And finally the result when i run the game teh problem is, we see all the seams divisions.
how this can be solved???

and also what i have to do to my metal material to look like metal inside gg because the result is not the same as 3dcoat pbr material exported to textures.

Check the fbx version from 3d coat and set export in max to same version and See if that works.

Here are the settings I used. Make sure that you hide the Ambient Occlusion layer before exporting.
If it is visible it will be baked on the color texture and you will have the AO twice in GG which will make it darker.
The AO texture will still export even if the AO layer is not visible. Also pad the texture by 8, its at the bottom of the
export window. This should help with the seams. If your object is a high poly bake you may also need to add this line
to the FPE file. preservetangents = 1
The coffee is lovely dark and deep,and I have code to write before I sleep.

if i add preservetangents = 1 it brokens my object, i get black parts.
if i try to export with dds format from 3ds coat, i see nothing inside gg
if i directly export in fbx from 3d coat it's not working

if i export into obj from 3d coat to 3ds max and then reconvert to fbx2013 it works randomly, sometimes yes sometimes no.

i have no ambient occlusion in my texture & export
