Re: Maya 2009 Transfer Map Normal Map Baking (digitizing)
I'd suggest using Smooth/Harden Edge/Set Normal Angle over Average Normals if these are being sent out to a game engine. It's easier to manage and make corrections to the smoothing afterwards. http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap?action=show&redirect=Normal+Map#Smoothing_Groups_.26_Hard_Edges For the most part, smoothing on… -

Re: Normalize UVs Maxscript
Relax can normalize but it also relaxes trashing a lot of work. MoP's script just fixes the scale, preserving any tweaks you've done. It MIGHT be ok to keep trying to relax certain shells like boxes and cylinders as it normalizes the other shells because they're so simple but anything that keeps trying to solve/relax as… -
Edge seams material issue artifacts (normal+height map)
Hi! I'm working on some furniture, but I have found a problem with the texturing steps. As you can see in the images, when I apply the material (a stylized material bought from an artist in Artstation), it gaves me some strange artifacts at the edges, which are also the UV seams. It only appears at the far… -

Re: Quick Xnormal question
Your lowpoly and/or cage must be reading as all hard edges. Check it in the xNormal 3d viewer. Either it's been exported that way, or you've mistakenly set "harden normals" or whatever the phrasing used in xN is under the mesh list. (you'd want use exported normals, assuming you've exported the mesh with the correct… -
Re: Normal map looks low res in UDK
that looks like the noise in ur normal map being turned bad by compression. id say leave those small normal map details to detail normal maps. to tests try and get the normal bake without that detail modeled in and see if it fixes it.
