Normal Map stripes
Well, here we go with another Normal Map thread... Does any one knows why I am getting these stripes? I baked using X-Normal and Maya. It is not a complicated mesh, just an air duct. Everything is correctly set: Hard/Soft Edges, Uvs, etc. Tried other resolutions, Nvdia normalize, and so on. I really don´t know what I am… -
Normal map issues
Hey guys, Im having a bit of trouble with my normal maps with UDK, I have baked the normal map from a high poly model in Maya and have it saved as a targa file. When i apply it to the wall instead of getting a good result like i did in maya its really low intensity and when i multiply it to strengthen it the diffuse… -
Normal Maps
Hi, My system is a little aged at this point, I plan to get a new one soon but for the time being I'm wondering if there's some good programs to view normal mapped models in using my current rig. I have a Pentium 3, 512 ram, Geforce 5200, and the real problem: Windows ME. I'm looking for a normal map model viewer that… -
Failed Normal Maps from ZBrush
I just recently got back into ZBrush, and have been trying to apply UVs to an existing ZTool. Despite following tutorials precisely, the normal maps I export out of ZBrush always have a sort smoothing error on each individual polygon. It almost looks like each polygon's UV coordinates are flipped or rotated, not so much… -
Normal map DXT5 vs non-compressed-half-resolution, opinions?
DXT5 is what is used most of the time for saving normal maps (and DXT1 for the rest) in TESIV: Skyrim but it's a lossy format and some people say that because normal maps are actually 3d vectors and not just perceived color their compression is a no-no. The option they recommend instead is halving the resolution… -
[SOLVED] TB 3.04 -> High poly normal baking issue
Hello i've got a problem with the High poly normal map baking (the new feature introduced in 3.04). When I'm applying material with the normal map on high poly, the normal map is baked on the whole model. In my case I've applyed material with normal map on the blue pannel (yellow and blue parts are high poly) But when… -
Re: Difference from smothing groups vs weighted vertex normals.
I would say this thing with the compression is just a part of the story. So when you are using face weighted normals on a hard surface mesh, you usually eliminate like the 90% of the unwanted gradients on the flat surfaces. This is happening, because the vertex normals are perpendicular to the edge, and they are not… -
Normal map problem (SOLVED)
I'm getting some pixelation/artifacts in my normal map and I don't know why... I'm using lightwave 8 normal map plugin to generate the map with world space. Are my UV's just stupid or does lightwave plugin suck at making normal maps? I think it might be due to overlapping polies? -
Re: Direct X problems with 'Dice' Normal map tutorial.
Make sure you set the bump material from "Bitmap" to "Normal Bump". So when you normally click the bump slot and pick "bitmap" and browse to your texture, click "Normal Bump" then click "normal" and then browse to your texture. Just sticking a normal map in the bump slot like you would a diffuse will cause 3ds to treat it… -
Should I always normalize the whole UV map?
I have done the UVs for each part of this model and normalized them individually: Then I selected all those parts and applied another unwrap modifier to make the atlas for all the model. Now I wanna normalize all the piles so every part of the model has the same proportions and then scale down or up all the UVs to fit them…
