    the result is pretty much what to expect from a triangulated lowpoly that will be brought into shape by tesselation and displacement. did you actually try your map?

    i could go into detail why it looks like this, from my work mashine, if you are interested

    xN does NOT subdivide the LP mesh automatically.
    You should use it already subdivided a few times ( 1-2 ).

    In case you produced the HP mesh just subdividing your base LP mesh and scuplting it, pls consider the MatchUV option.

    xNormal is baking the height information for each vertex in the low poly, the reason why hightmaps from programs like (for example) knald, or substance designer seem a lot smoother, is because they're creating the height map from a normalmap, not from the low poly mesh itself.
