Ok, the latest in a long line of issues, are these wierd lines along the edges of the butt plate normal? The HP mesh has a rounded corner and to reflect this i chamfered the edge of the low poly, even though the result is a bit beter after the chamfer im still getitng these streaks. They also appear on other parts of the mesh, even when i split the butt plate away from the butt body and render it alone. Im not sure wether they are acceptable or wether they are geometry problems or should be fixed in photoshop.
Cheers
