Jagged normal bake

Dan Allardyce · Apr 2014

I'm having this weird issue when I bake out my maps with this piece geo, I get this weird jagged, waviness. Now from what I can tell everything's straight in the high poly, but there are no faces on the inside part of the low poly. Google hasn't helped me, so hopefully you guys can.

Hi,try placing your uvs horizontally or vertically. Also, in the way you have these uvs, is a waste of texture space. After you placed them horizontally or vertically, you can use 1024x512 or 512x1024 for resolution.

Yep, straighten that out.

Thanks for your quick responses!

That fixed it, but placed the UVs diagonally for a few other pieces without any issue. And about the texture space, I was just running a test to see if I had to adjust anything, that certainly wasn't the final placement.

Something else you can do to help out with the jagginess (though not totally fix it) is increase the super sampler quality (assuming you have super sampling set up).

Possibly more rounded edges (on the hp) would make things working better with diagonal uv placements too.
