How to bake it?

Mr Significant · Nov 2013

First of all, sorry for PRO english.

I need your help, guys. How to bake it:

I tried to separate the meshes, seting up the cage, and breaks the UV's, but with no results. there are to many errors. How to bake something like this?

Have you tried an exploded baking? You know, detaching the roots to separate objects, moving them further, and baking then.

Or not exploding, but baking with material IDs (hit only matching material IDs)?

I cannot move LP mesh in any direction because my HP model is 1 mesh. So detaching the HP mesh will be like tortures.

I don't know about baking with material ID. I need to check this.

First of all, in what program are trying to bake it?

From what I can see, these errors should be solved by a tighter cage. Check different values, it can vary based on your model's scale.

Is this just for a generic tree? Or will this be a object the player can interact with? For generic trees I would recommend you using tilable textures and no unique normals. It saves texture space and you dont need to create new normals for every tree.
Seams could be hidden by some placed stones or grass bushes

You can separate low poly into multiple objects as suggested above and have multiple copies of highpoly geometry for each lowpoly part. simple

I just baked this in 3ds max, and it works.

@Popol this was baked in xnormal.

@Wiki yes, I could use tileable's. That's great idea.

Gheromo I tried that way, but xnormal has some problems, and it's same results, as baking one mesh.
