Re: more triangles or normal map?
well pretty much all modern games use both, normal maps can only fake shading, they cant change the silhouette. So make the silhouette look good, increase the amount of polys if you need to, but for surface details, especially if they are on a flat surface, just bake that detail into the normal map. It is really hard to… -
Re: Normal maps in Marmoset toolbag problem.
I've had a few issues like this before, but I don't think they're Normal map related. Marmoset has given me weird shading even without a normal map. Maybe EQ will see this and know what the problem is. Also, you can flip the channel in your Normal map in Marmoset. Go to View and click the invert box for X, Y, or Z, and hit… -
3ds max 2013 Normal Map baking empty!
Hi, i'm having a problem for some time where for some reason my 3ds max doesn't bake my normal map! I have the low poly and the high poly, the uvs for the low poly are fine and the projection cage are fine too but when i render, the map render completely blank, only purple with no normal map. Someone please help me! -
normal maps from zbrush and maya combined?
So i've finally been figuring out how to do normal baking in maya for hard surface stuff, and other non character stuff where the work is preferred in maya because its far more acurate. My problem is this, i made a column, very low poly, and a high poly which is pretty much just the same model but with nice smooth beveled… -
...normal maps in maya, viewing.... how again?
damnit. i forgot. i remember 'High quality' rendering..... and that you've gotta manually link up the normal map, but how in the shit do you get it to work/what do you link it to again? ugh i forget! yay for my brain. and searching 2d/3d for "maya," and "normal maps" is like searching google for "hot nude chicks" to find… -
Normal mapping outside of 0-1 space?
Hey everyone, My professor wants me to make tiling materials for some modular assets. She wants us to stretch our uv's past the 0-1 space. I didn't know this before this week's project and I decided previously to make game res and high res assets for baking normal information. Is there a way to use the high and game meshes… -
So whats the current best method for setting up Face-Weighted-Normals in Maya?
Hi. I've looked over the site for information on face weighted normals. I've come across some old depreciated tools and some newer ones that don't offer whats in other packages. https://polycount.com/discussion/183993/maya-free-face-weighted-vertex-normals-tool This tool seems to be the most recent but applies bevels to… -
Quick question about painting normal details in painter.
Hey guys so heres something thats been bothering me for a while. I usually model my high poly in maya and add additional small details as normal stamps in painter. However when i do this the smart materials do not react accordingly to the surface because they were added after the bake. Is there a way i can rebake or use… -
Mirroring uv's in the normal map inverts lighting in UDK?
Hey so this isn't a problem in Maya or any other engine I've worked in, but in Unreal when I mirror a section of my uv's once it's in the editor the lighting appears inverted on the part of the model that has mirrored uv's. What's the official fix for this issue, I would imagine I could flip the normals on that part of the… -
Gray map to normal map error (nvidia filter)
Hi all I have a problem when I try to make a ramp in my normal map, I use a gradient in my gray map, but when i convert it to normal map, there is noise in that part. I can avoid it using a 16bit-channels image for the gray map, but...do you know another trick to avoid the noise? Here is an example: Alberto Moreno "Grihan"…
