[QUESTION] Baking Process

GustavoMonteiro

I tried to bake displacement map in ZBrush but it says that there's no UV applied to my target mesh (what could be happening?)
Then I moved to Mudbox and I finally could bake it but this is what happens. The wireframe appears on the map and also, I can see absolutely no details that I did on the hi-res version of this character...
How can I solve this?

I'm having headches since last Sunday to make a good bake process but without success
I need your help, folks

Burpee

Are baking from your low poly to your high poly in Mudbox ?

GustavoMonteiro

It's the inverse: from hi-res to low-res
I also tried in xNormal but the result is the same

tierzilla

looks like low-poly baking onto low-poly

This is what you should expect to get when you are baking a displacement map. It is storing the height differences between your angular lowpoly and smooth, rounded highpoly. You can get back the fine details with a normalmap, or you can make a more detailed lowpoly, and then the smaller details will start appearing in the displacement map too.

GustavoMonteiro

Well, I increased the number of polys in my low-res mesh and also applied a Projection to maintain a bit more of the original silhouette and it worked, I'm thankful for this.
But still, my disp map remains with no details.

The first is the hi-res, the second is low-res, the third the uv set and then the settings I've used to bake. The size I have set 4k and TIFF 16bits file format after I take the last screenshot.

This is just one of the island of the UV but this is how the whole UV set looks

Such small details doesn't need to appear in the geometry, nor on the highpoly. Try baking a normalmap for getting back them. I guess for getting them in the displacement map (its not necessary) you can try baking a hdr displacement map.

GustavoMonteiro

Right, I've tested normal map and it worked very well

Thanks, man =]
