How to bake a character with multiple pieces?
Do you guy bake it as one grouped mesh? I am using xNormals. When I use it, I bake out each item separately. Boots. Hat. Clothes. Skin. But I was wondering, if there was a better way? Do you bake 1 whole low poly character with a whole high poly version? -
Painter: baking occlusion using an hemisphere while still using the match naming option
Hi guys! Got a question about baking occlusion maps in Painter; i'm used to using xNormal for baking, and i wanted to give Substance a go since the match naming option is really helpful (and overall, the baking process is more efficient). However, i usually use an hemisphere to get better light info (mentioned here) (since… -
Re: Is it possible to bake Inward Facing AO maps in Xnormal, or maya?
why not just make them outward facing, then select the lowpoly faces and invert the normals after the bake? -

Re: bake vertex color to vertex alpha channel?
Alternatively try this neat cuda accelerated AO -> vertex channels baker, it does regular vertex color or vertex alpha and it is close to instantaneous on most meshes. http://www.zhangy.com/main/blog/id/22 (that is ofcourse if ao is what you are wanting to bake) -
Re: Blender 3D baking problem
It's a bit hard to see what the bumps in the handle should look like just from the wireframe. But the issue might be the Bias value in the baking menu. If your rays encounter multiple faces, it picks which one to use the normal from by checking whichever's distance is closest to the Bias value. If you leave it really low,… -
Re: Maya - How to bake a normalmap with alpha
I'm using 2015, I'd assume it works with previous versions as well. *** I wrote that the file format need to be the same, but it doesn't. In the Alpha map bake properties you just need to make sure you're using a format that supports an alpha channel: TIF, DDS, EXR.. (sorry was too lazy to edit the image :D ) -
Photoshop SmartObjects - For Bakes
I don't know how many people use this little trick, but I did a search on smart objects and didn't find any threads. That being said, I recently tried using smart objects to see if you could just link an image to a layer in Photoshop. Sure enough, you can! Lots of time saved not having to manually open files and copying…
