Mostly about Maps

JellyMen

Hi everyone! I recently finished the LP for a mesh and baked for it the normal map. My problem is that the head looks to low res (you can see the triangles). My question is how can I repair this thing (is there any map that could fix it?) and what maps should I bake in general for a game asset? Thanks in advance!

well for starters you could post a screenshot so we can see what the problem is

also here is a link from the Wiki for different maps and what they are used for.

Yea, that would actually make a lot of sense
Here
High Poly

Low Poly

Low Poly with normal map

LowPoly with normal map only the head


The head looks weird to me plus that I actually don't know what maps should I bake for a video game asset besides the normal map. Thanks for the help

Yeah, that should really be smooth all those hard edges are showing through.

I know... This is why I am so confused. At first I thought that I needed to bake some more maps but now I just don't know

I think you need to set it to smooth shading?
T > shading > smooth

or just hit space and type shade smooth

make sure your mesh is selected
