Baking in Substance designer Vs Xnormals

VisceralD

So I have heard some people saying that they like baking normals in Substance designer, Im just curious if it gives better quality then xnormals. Anyone use both in there workflow?

I don't think there's much if any difference qualitywise.
UI-wise Xnormal is not very nice though, Designer is much easier to use instead.
Maybe just try it?

I also like the ease with which I can rebake in Substance when I tweak the uv's. I've started baking much sooner and more often now than it's so fast.

VisceralD

please explain how you changed your work flow

try, try... no matter what people say it might not work for you.
For what it's worth it is really straight forward and fast.

Yeah i fail to see how you value what others say over experiencing it yourself?
Get the trial, try it. Takes like 5 mins if you know what to do.

Ok had a chance to try it and in my opinion substance Designer is better only becuase it does AO a lot faster than Xnormals

If you have an Nvidia card you can speed up AO bakes by using the Optix/CUDA option.
