Re: Where Do I Bake a Vector Displacement Map?
As of today, is there any other baker than Mudbox that could let me bake Vector Displacement Maps, without starting from a plane? I read here xNormal should do it with some Direction maps settings, but I couldn't get it to work : https://polycount.com/discussion/131363/vector-displacement-map-out-of-xnormal The grayscale… -
Re: {WIP} 1970s GM New Look bus model.
@sacboi I honestly don't even really know the first thing about baking anything in Blender. For the most part I am just self taught from trial and error and some basic guides to solve specific problems. I have heard of high poly to low poly baking where I assume you model a high poly version and bake the shading and such… -
Re: Software for retopologising, texturing, baking, rendering a handpainted scene?
I would start with deciding on the rendering part, and work backwards from there. Toolbag is great for rendering. Unreal is also really nice, and shows you can handle a game engine, which is pretty important for showing you're capable as a game artist. All the rest is pretty subjective. Knald gives great bake results and… -
Re: Can you bake with averaged normals when not using one smoothing group?
The chamferzone video is old is my guess. Look at a newer one not 6 years old on his same channel, you'll see him use averaged normal projection in the droid vid for example. But yeah non averaged normal projections are probably mostly used for a skew correction or some floater issues. (nothing wrong with that, I wouldn't… -
[WIP][UE4] The Heart Maker (Full Environment) Looking for critique!
Here are some images of the 3D room I created for an online class. Everything is based off Nik Henderson's The Heart Maker concepts.I am still very new to UE4 lighting, so I was hoping to get some feedback on the lights and shadows I have baked so far. Any other thoughts are welcome! Thank you :) . Original Concept art: -
Re: Source Engine Tangent Basis?
I don't think it means, what you think it means. Normal Map, no matter the baker, won't automatically show seams or make your model look bad, they will take the data and show it as it's meant to be shown. Even if it's a very dirty NRM Map in the renderer, it will still show it's meant to be shown pending on how you baked… -

Re: Recommended software for baking normals/ambient occlusion maps?
Substance Painter and Marmoset Toolbag are the 2 best bakers for game artists, at least in my opinion. There's some pros and cons to each. Painter is an excellent texture package, and baking in your texturing application makes a lot of sense workflow wise. You can also do some projection tricks with Substance, but requires… -
Re: Weird light artifacts after baking and exporting
There is a checkbox to Triangulate on export without using a modifier. So if "bake-mesh" topology was triangulated in those tutorials you might not see it unless it was specifically shown in Substance Painter. The triangulation result should look the same way as Blender presents mesh by default (I think?). So when you…
