Normal Baking Issue

BrianDolan89 · Aug 2016

Hello everyone,

Im having trouble baking my normal map. Everything looks amazing except each time no matter how much I change the settings, I keep getting this weird black pixel markings on it in certain areas. They arent even edges either. I posted a pic to show what I'm referring to. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thank you

What does the NM look like on those areas of the UVs?

nice creature btw.

Usually these artifacts means the rays missed the mesh and the holes have been filled with the diffusion (if enabled). What ray distance did you set ?

Hey guys @Froyok and @musashidan . Thanks for the responses. I actually ended up closing the holes and dynameshing the high poly version because it was ridiculously high and it ended up working great. I think it was just such a huge file that it had trouble with it. Not sure but it worked out great! I actually finished the character if you would like to see it. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/z0KB6 Thanks again!
