Re: Need help for baking better Looking Normal Maps in 3DS Max
No, and definitely no. What is common though is people baking NMs and not understanding the process that they are trying to work through. I highly recommend studying (not just browsing) the wiki and stickies found on this site. Every single piece of info on the baking process can be found here. Written by pros with… -
Re: 3D Artist | Portfolio Review
Hi! Your work looks really good, I especially like the Hilda project, it reminds me of an unpixellated version of something I would see in A Short Hike. The advice I got when I was applying for jobs and curating a portfolio was to pick 3 or 4 of your best projects and cut everything else, then after you have more good… -
3ds Max - Baking Normal Maps with Alpha
Is there any way to bake a normal map with alpha transparency in 3ds Max? Something like this: I want to create some normal maps that I can use in Substance Painter as extra details. -
What are these dots in my bake?
I've done everything to try getting rid of these, but all of a sudden Max2012 seems to have just broken on me. Render times are slow as can be, and now I'm getting these random dots. I've tried upping the resolution to get rid of these dots and sampling up and anything else I can think of. Not to mention this grid line in… -
xNormal Baking issue
Hey I cant seem to find any information on this problem. I have noticed it been doing it on different models and this isn't the first time. I bake my models in xNormal but when I use xoulis shader I notice tiny lines such as this. I checked my normal map in Photoshop and although you have to zoom in to see them, the lines… -

This here is the picture of the high poly model. Here are the Low Poly and UV's I then proceeded to bake the High Poly suit with Xnormal, and got the following… -
diffuse baking all texture layers?
I'm currently looking to bake normals and my standard diffuse to a single texture, as the engine I'm working with doesn't currently support normals. (not yet anyways) I would use 3DS Max for this, but I don't feel like re-rendering my normals from Xnormal, and it treats Xnormal's tangents really strange. what would be a… -
Max7 Baking procedural bumps into a normals map?
Maybe I'm missing something but does anyone know of a way to bake procedural bumps into a normals map using the projection technique? I thought it might be a nice way to add some additional flavor. -
Normalmap flipped when baking
Hi polycount, first thread I started here :) I'm having a problem with my normalbake, I created a gun, and when I started to bake my normals from my high poly onto my low poly, my normals on the other side of my model are flipped. I used the symetry modifier to create the gun and I think the problem lies somewhere with my… -
Normal Map Artifact (Maya bake)
Hey guys, I was wondering if you have seen this before. I am modeling a mechanical object and doing a high to low bake in maya. When the spec is strong enough i am getting these artifacts. The surface is completely flat and the issue is definitely coming from the normal map since if i fill it with flat color the issue is…
