Re: Blender 2.8 Baking OBJECT Space Normals
Yes, I did watch the video - and I will reiterate : beyond a mere curiosity about the math/conversion process (which is interesting in and of itself), or the edge case of having no access to a proper synced workflow in the first place (which is not your case), there are zero advantages to either the process nor the output.… -
Re: Overlapping UVs - Bake Priority
Surfaces in front should always bake as if they are in front. Your perspective view shows some bevels on the paneling, but the ortho view makes them appear totally flat as if they didn't have a bevel. If that's actually the case- that's your problem. The normal baker doesn't see any changes to bake out. -
Is it possible to bake multiple hi polys down to a single lo poly in Marmoset?
I'm experimenting with photogammetry. I have made several hi poly scans of landscape. I can bake down needed information from the hi poly to a lot poly but in order to get the look I want I need merge the low poly meshes into a single mesh. Ssao makes the seams between meshes extremely apparent and I'd like to be able to… -
Re: I have no idea on how to bake floaters
I wouldn't use the baking tools in Mudbox or Zbrush, get a dedicated baker like xNormal, Knald, Marmoset Toolbag, etc. The best results section of this tutorial covers floaters: https://www.marmoset.co/posts/toolbag-baking-tutorial/ -

Re: Baking - where do the rays come from and go?
correct but... its sampled per pixel (usually at final bake resolution) rather than per vertex for most baking types as said above - bakers will usually project both sides of the target mesh by a specified distance -
Re: triangulate before baking nmaps or not?
what prior says. although i never skin stuff as im an env artist. any export would be made from the t pose surely so baking the norms when in this position would be best and triangulating befor baking always gets better results if using external baker in my experience -
Re: Baking between legs (crotch are)
Honestly its very hard to get rid of all the imperfections when doing these sorts of bakes. What I normally do is just manually fix this. You could try creating a custom cage to get the perfect bakes but sometimes it takes a long time and IMO isn't worth the effort. I use the method I learned from Marc Brunet. I try and… -
Re: Baking Issue (Again)
Alright, so two things: A. This is the bare min. amount of geometry you can add to fix the issue. There is still a slight amount of waviness here, but really it shouldn't ever be a problem. B. You can actually do a lot with your highpoly mesh to help the issue too. For this section of your mesh, there really isn't any… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (102)
Many thanks for the pointers @Eric Chadwick Unfortunately, I don't understand what you're asking exactly, so here is the normal map: By 'run a histogram on the original texture', do you mean like so? I must admit, I didn't pay too much mind in what color space the texture itself was being previewed in, as long the shading…
