Need help please

Kazuya

Hi everyone, i'm working on a concept of weapon for Sven, and i found some problem, when i try to bake the normale map i get something weird that doesn't match my sculpt on Zbrush, here is the picture, please tell me what did i do wrong.




PS: i'm not gonna publish this weapon cause it's not my concept art, i'm trying to learn the Dota 2 workshop pipeline

Thank you very much

whatever

Are you sure the lowpoly and highpoly are on the same cordinates,if oyu are using xnormal

Kazuya

what do you mean !

Kazuya

i think that i've made a mistake, cause i imported the obj file from zbrush and the lowpoly from max. when i tried to align the highpoly on the lowpoly i found that the high poly was so huge.. can this make these kind of problems !

whatever

I was meaning on that,they need to be same size,and on same coordinates in space

Just like making any other sort of game content you should become familiar with the fundamentals of game modeling and doing a high poly to low poly workflow. All too often people want to jump straight into making dota items, but you should really focus on learning game art fundamentals first and foremost;
