Xnormal Baking Problems
Hey All I am having some strange things happen when i try and back my high to my low. I am using Maya, Zbrush and normal. From what i can see is the problem is the High and low meshes are two different sizes, however i have checked them in both maya and zbrush and the sit in the same world space. i have attached some… -
Xnormal - cage problem
Hi, i have a problem, i have a model of vase, i need to use external cage to get nice normal, so what i do: copy my LP mesh tweek some verts to get it right, and save cage as .obj (i only move some verts, i don't do nothing more) in Xnormal, i assign HP mesh, LP mesh and use cage, after hiting bake i have window pop up… -
Maya 2017: Set vertex Normal problem
I was using the set vertex normal tool which is located 'Mesh Display -> Set Vertex Normal' and I used this tool for planes so it makes my texture visible on both sides, what I didn't notice is that I've accidentally applied it to my whole scene and I can't reverse it. I didn't notice it till I was test rendering and my… -
Baking Curvature from edited Normal Map
I am practicing with Substance Painter texturing this model download from Substance Share: https://share.allegorithmic.com/libraries/2087 When I bake a Normal Map and a Curvature Map from the high poly at 2k or 4k pixels of resolution, the results are correct. Both maps are smooth and without artifacts. If I add some… -
Is there a software like old NDO2 where you can DRAW normal maps - more specific for sci-fi trims.
Hey everyone. So is there a software like old NDO2 where you can DRAW normal or/and Height maps - more specific for sci-fi trims/atlases needs? I just start to think that I can save some time while drawing Height map + Normal map but not modelling geo for bake. Substance Designer is not what I'm looking for too because I… -
Using a tiling texture along with a normal map for a prop?
HI there. Trying to figure out how to texture a large prop. I have a pretty large piece of furniture that I'm gonna need to use tiling textures on. But I also want to bake down the high to low poly so I can get some nice rounded edges as well as some other normal detail on the handles of the drawers. If I used one UV… -
Re: Normal map density control UE4
Hey, What I do a lot in UE4, is to create a dynamic instantiated shader for my basic environment materials. Basically, something like this : It gives me 3 parameters to modify in-editor with real time results. I take the Texture Coordinate node, divide its channels Red and Green to be able to modify them independently,… -
Re: Rendering normal maps in Maya...how?
Use a shader of your choice like a blinn or a phong shader. Add the normal map in the bump map channel setting it to tangent space normal. Place your lights, set your renderer to mental ray and render away Dont forget, for mirrowed normals you have to flip the coresponding color channels in Photoshop so that the mirrored… -
Re: Soft light blend mode technique for normal mapping
To rick you listen. 127 is the true half. I have this overlay method and an nvidia filter normalize set up in actions; because they end up getting used a LOT when working over your normal map in PS. Depending on the texture, sometimes I spend more time in PS on the normal map than on the high poly geometry. -
SoftImage XSI 6.5 - Problem Using Ultimapper to bake Normal Map.
When i Bake normal maps through Ultimapper, all i get in the texture is black. It happens when i try to bake any map weather it be AO or Normal Map. I've tested this on a cube and have gotten the same results. My low rez mesh has tangents and ultimapper applied. Any idea why this would happen?
