Normal map for an engine

xk0be

My bad I didn't really realize people would take this seriously, pesti told me to do it >_> delete this thread asap please!

Sorry for wasting your time skyway although it does to help to know that the high poly needs to have less 90 degree hard angles again I apologize. Oh and disting that helps too thanks. So I guess its not that bad that I posted this but again sorry and blame pesti!

SkyWay

Umm...maybe the fact that it has almost no supporting geometry in the lowpoly and you're baking from a very hardedged object with straight angles?

It also looks like you've forgot to set the bump 2d node in the hypershade to Tangent Space Normal Map from Bump Map.

Lol I'm not scared the normal map was just a test, when it was done I knew what the problem was... Just posted it in the IRC though and then made this thread anyways. The reason I even did it with such a low poly object is because in GTA4 like on the underbody and engine and stuff I thought that's what they did but because of my terrible result it seems they do it a bit differently, probably with a texture alone or some combination of both.

Anyways I noticed some major inaccuracies on the engine itself so I'm gonna re-work that then do the normal map.
