Re: Baking by mesh name, but not for Ambient Occlusion?
To use name matching, simply name your high and low poly meshes appropriately, and then load the meshes via the Quick Loader in the Baker object properties (the Load button inside the Quick Loader tab). As for exporting out of Max, there shouldn't be anything special you need to do. Just make sure you're only exporting the… -
Baking maps for Mari?
I have high poly model in zbrush and i have low poly model that i got when i used topogun 2 TO RETOPO ---- Used UNFOLD 3d to get uv mapos on low poly model and got uv ilands (as mutly tile UV-s) UDIM-s ---- So now i need to get maps like normal maps etc so i can take those in to mari. As it has UDIM-s /multy tile UV-s this… -
Re: Normal Map Baking - Hard Edge Problem
Thank you so much @Treidge, that makes perfect sense! You've taught me a ton about baking and normal maps; your diagrams and explanations were great! I'll have to put more thought into my high and low polys next time :p . @musashidan, I was able to achieve a pretty solid bake with an all-soft low poly as well. I guess I… -
Re: PBR Export Issue
this is either a colorspace issue - make sure you're outputting raw from painter and importing linear to blender (i don't know what blender calls it) a tangent basis issue - make sure your model has the same tangent data and triangulation for both the bake and the render meshes. if you're using fbx there's a tickybox for… -
Re: Inflating high poly before baking normal map
I missread the OP. :# I think he meant inflating low poly. It's what I meant. Doing it to Hipoly is indeed weird. Inflating low poly along vertex normals to bake world space normal map on the other hand is where low poly itself become the cage . That way it works in many renderers that are not supported by regular texture… -
Re: Trouble Baking Maps
It looks to me like you're using a distance based method of baking your normal maps. You will get much cleaner results if you use a cage based method. Pretty much everywhere you have a UV split you need to create a hard edge (General rule of thumb) this will make sure your edges get the correct amount of padding and the… -
Re: Baking normal to duplicated mesh with different UV
"I've read that you shouldn't do that" Says who ? "Baking normal to duplicated mesh with different UV" Try to be as clear as you possibly can. You are barely making any effort to describe your problem - no pictures, no examples. Do you mean that you have a model with its normalmap, and another one wich is a duplicate of… -
Re: Blender Mega Thread
I'm exporting nested hierarchies. Building a large scale map . I ended up making my own DCC export setup . Would anyone know of a baker as good as xNormal for Height Maps under Blender ? Thanks -
Preparing for Hi-Poly bake.
I made this simple model a little while ago for a game jam and I'm revisiting it to make a hi-poly version to bake down to a normal map. This will be the first time I've done this and I'm hoping some one can take a look and let me know if their is anything I need to do to prepare it. Thanks, -
3DS Max, problems with normal map bake
Hello, I am trying to bake some normal maps in 3ds max but I am getting a problem when I take them into photoshop and save them again. Here is what the normal map looks like straight after I have baked it. here is what it looks like after I have simply opened it in photoshop and then saved it out again. and here is the…
