Normal Map Mirroring Problems
Hey Guys, Having problems baking a mirrored normal map, pictures will prob explain better than I can - ALL faces set to one smoothing group - MirroredGeo set to different smooting groups - Normal map in diffuse Channel - The UVs As you can see, when all faces are set to one smooth group I get a weird offset seam, any… -
C4D Localized Soften Normals
As the title implies I'm working on figuring out some work arounds to localize softened normals with witch you've selected. I know in Maya you can edit the normal angles with what you've selected whether it be face, edge, or vertex. In C4D you have to go through phongs but, this is an overall change to the mesh and not… -
normal mapping polycount question...
i totally realize this depends on you engine requirements and stuff....but i'm going to normal map a head that weighs in at about 15,000 polys. for the low res version...what would be a good number to shoot for. a friend of mine says 1000. i think i could get away w/500. i've never normal mapped anything so...i don't know… -
Normal Thief problem. Needed help.
I'm using Noors Normal Thief. Trying to steal normal from simple shape for my hair. This is my ref My target mesh The result are broken what did i do wrong? can somebody shine a light on me? I've used noors before and the result are usualy fine, but this time it was weird. -
Re: Baking Problem in xNormal
Could you guys possibly post a comparison images, or something like that? Baking a normal map from a highpoly mesh with tangent space of the low poly provided is pretty much a standard approach nowadays, luckily. There is definitely a downside of using xnormal though. I believe it uses the standard algorhithm on the cpu,… -
Mirroring normal maps?
Hi guys, I'm having trouble getting proper normal maps from xNormal, when I have opposite sides of a model sharing the UV space - I really thought that I had done this before without any problems, but now suddenly it doesn't seem to work. So tell me, should it work? For example, you have a pair of shoes and you want them… -
Crumpled Normals problem
So I'm sculpting dragon nunchuks, and I'm getting really frustrated with baking normals. I got the low poly to look ok in Maya (top left) but when I bring it into Substance Painter and apply a metallic substance, it looks like it's made out of crumpled tinfoil, especially around the eyes. I want it to look more like the… -
Documentation for how maya compute normals for quads?
Does anyone have documentation for how maya computes normals for quads? If you aren't familiar with what I am talking about, Maya generates different normal orientations for both force triangulation left/right and quads left triangulated. -
Baking Normal Map - Black Areas
Hi guys. I am having big issues on baking normals. I am sending my mesh and UV so that you can see baked normals on UV. https://postimg.org/image/wvmhyc8t1/ I tried many different setups but still I am having this problem. I am waiting for your help. King regards. -
Newbie + Normals = .......
Hey everybody today i was trying to learn the basics of Normal Mapping with a simple cube i thought 6 faces what can go wrong heh.... how foolish. Now i read some theory stuff like about how sharp/smooth edges depend on split uv´s and split smoothing groups like 2 smoothed faces equal a sharp edge if the uv´s are stitched…
