BeachBum

Hello

I was curious about what the best pipeline for baking normals. I think it gets confusing with all the different ways they read the +Y or - Y

What do these softwares bake/read



UDK

Max

Maya

CryEngine

CrazyBump

Doesn't matter all that much, just bake it, and if it's wrong it's a 5second fix (go in PS, select green channel, ctrl+i)

UDK - down
Max - down standard, you can choose if it bakes up or down.

CryEngine - up, but not 100% sure.
Maya - up
marmoset -up (with option to switch)
dDo/ndo - up

CrazyBump - no idea, haven't really used it.
