Curvature map issue

triborg

Hello guys, can somebody help me with curvature map please ?

 Issue:

 Usually I am baking curvature map for mesh in Substance Designer,  because this method exclude bad looking seams.

 But now, I need to transport details from height channel into curvature map, I am stack, because while I baking curvature map from normal map, I will have black seams issue.

 

Goal: create curv map with details from height channel, but without seams issue

Thank you

Hi, do you want to export a curvature map to a texture to do something else somewhere else with it or do you want to work with the curvature data within the application?

For painter you might need to get a specific filter which allows to transfer height data to curvature

You could also try to mask your normalmap-to-curvature data via .. the mesh-to-curvature map and mix both together so you have the clean mesh version for the mesh edges and the rest for the details
