TextureBaking SD normal shading when doing tilling in PS.

decorix

Hello all,

I haven been trying to bake a texture in Substance Designer using

Zbrush sculpt (HP mesh) and Bakeplane (LP mesh) The problem is that

when its bakes and I test for tilling in PS with Filter/Offset 1024 then I'm

getting a shading effect in all 4 regions. Does anybody know what's causing this? Thanks.

Are you sure your plane normals are facing up?

Hi Jerc, I just checked in Max (edit mesh)  and normals are facing up!!

Hi, Jerc. I did a quick bake in XN and it appears that it looks much better, but there still slight jump/color switch. When offseting is PS / 1024 If you have any idea what's causing this? I would certainly like to know this :-) Thanks

Make sure your cage if you use one or the ray distance is enough so that it encompasses all your high poly geometry.
In substance make sure the back distance and front distance are very high if you bake on a simple plane, I think that was the issue in the first try.

Hi Jerc, Many thanks for helping out and the info. It looks like it working now. I changed the back/front distance and there's know more shading.
