3d max - Baking NM and AO
I want to ask you about your system of making NM and AO. When you're making some object (for example gun) there are many subobjects that need to be baked from highpoly for normals and AO. When Im making such object, I bake first NM and then AO separately for every single subobject - its frustrating when I always have to… -
Re: Baking normal map problems
I just realised that you mention above that you didn't match UV/SG splits. This is necessary if your baker/engine do not have the same tangent basis(unsynced) which Max/UE do not. Those black lines on corners are classic missed rays due to a non-averaged/unsynced bake with no UV/SG splits. It's good that you're trying to… -
Biplane CR.42 Falco for Games – Hard Surface WIP / Looking for workflow advice
Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself and also share a project I’m currently working on. I’m Dan , a self-taught hard surface 3D artist, and over time I’ve mainly focused on modeling props for games. Most of my experience comes from the more traditional low poly / high poly / bake workflow, especially for smaller… -
Re: [PANIC] Having trouble baking multiple UV islands
It's common to use multiple materials for models that need more details, such as characters. In your example you see the character has one material for the head, one for the body. The artist is baking the two parts separately, and making two different materials with two different sets of textures for each part. Again from… -
Mini Tutorial: Baking seamless normal maps for glTF
I made this for a client recently, and it's generic enough that I can share here. So, why not? Here are the source meshes, shaded and in wireframe: When I open hexcube-lowpoly.glb in Babylon.js Sandbox (https://sandbox.babylonjs.com/), the normal map does not represent the beveled high-poly shape from hexcube-highpoly.glb,… -
Substance painter bake issue.
Hello guys. I tried to bake normal map in painter and i found it very easy, the results are nice. But i have some troubles with bake. Take a look. In painter evrything looks very nice for me. But in marmoset troubles comes (take a look 1,2,3,4). I found it strange, in 3ds max viewport i saw this on my high poly model… -
Re: Finished - Desert Communication Relay – Environment Scene
Here’s another update for this week. :) I’ve spent some time iterating on the rocks, with the goal of making them feel like they belong to the same environment. I focused on keeping a consistent shape language and making them read as if they were formed from the same type of rock, inspired by my reference. The idea was to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros
i've learned from working on Exanima that it could be an absolute nightmare if character customization, particularly armour layering, isn't properly planned out before making a bunch of assets for. I definitely won't be doing armour layering that's for sure, we'll just replace body parts with different pieces of… -
Re: [FOLIAGE] ~ My fourth attempt at making trees, I'd use some critique and advice...
!!UPDATE!! I'd like to explain my current workflow and what I'm trying to achieve, since I keep receiving links to tutorials that clash with my goals. Workflow: .- block out of the tree in Blender, where I use the skin modifier to make multiple "hoses" as a base structure for the next step (very similar to the splines… -
Baking in Substance: Bizarre Smoothing Problems
I'm reworking a project since I wasn't satisfied with some of the parts of my Scorpio model (please shoot me) and I'm finally at a point where I'm baking within Substance Painter. Today I decided to work on my model's arm. For some reason when I bake within Substance Painter, I get a result which looks like a smoothed…
