Blocky Normals - Uni Project Please help!

David Wakelin

Hi guys,

Been working on this character for weeks, baked out in XNormal and got this HORRID finish to the end character.

seems very blocky and harsh in some places...

Can someone please help me get this sorted? Its like a kick in the balls to lots of hard work

Cheers

I'm going to guess this is in Maya? You need to tell us which apps you've used if you want help. It looks like the normal map is being applied as a bump map. Make sure you've set the shader to use "tangent space normal" instead of the default bump map.

nobody told him to check hos smoothing groups yet?

than i'll do that:

Did you actually put on smoothing groups? Looks as if you baked different smoothing groups into your normal map
