Name matching definitely doesn't result in tons of textures. I've been using it on many projects over the last years. Say your low poly has 3 meshes that share one texture set but you want to keep them separate for baking reasons. In your lowPoly file name them: mesh1_low, mesh2_low and mesh3_low Then in your high poly you…
@zetheros hey cool ideas, the first thing that came to mind was scaling UVs to edit tiling density, but you might also be able to do something like HP sculpt layers like ZB has, but then scale the detail in those layers via a scaling brush (up or down) before projecting to the mesh. as for sculpting tiling textures, imo…
Hi, I asked this over on the Allegorithmic forums but didn't get a response so I'm going to try here as well where there is a bit more activity. Is there any way I can use the Transferred Texture from Mesh baker to transfer a normal map from one UV set to another? If you do this in 3DS Max's Render To Texture tool, it…
Heya - Indeed, good of you to ask. The reason why I asked you why you were making such an assumption is because putting clear words on why one believes a certain thing helps identifying where such a belief is coming from. Bit of a socratic dialogue so to speak. The problem is that whoever taught you that was 100% incorrect…
Hi here is the final outcome. I did the renders in marmoset as well as the bake to be able to get the normal and curveture map really clean. https://youtu.be/KMty8m4C7ME Link with turntable, with wireframe and normals
Here’s the finish line. This project has officially reached the end. Overall, I’m very pleased with how it turned out. The past week became very much a polish phase. Every time I thought I was done, I kept going back and asking myself: “Can this be pushed further?” That mindset carried through the entire final stretch.…
Most of my feedback won't be that useful, since I've seen others reporting the same problems I had, and some issues are already scheduled to be resolved on the roadmap post. I run an old i7-920 ~2.8GHz so not the fastest baking machine. My usual workflow was baking normal maps in Maya and just using that as a base for…
