Hi guys, i'm having a problem with normal map, i'm sending a print of the problem, because i really don't know what is happening, i'm using maya and Xnormal, the bump node is in tangent space normals, if you guys could help me, i would be very gratefull.

ps>i already checked my swizzles and put the normals in "average normals" in the high res

can you provide screenshots of the low poly with wireframe, the highpoly without wireframe, and the low poly uv´s? also make sure the color space of the normal maps file node is set to raw.
