Re: Fan Art : Final Fantasy 7 : Fusion Sword
Thanks for the feedback! Right now I'm working on the spec/gloss for that area to help give it some definition. It has a pretty strong normal there, but without the spec, it's lost. As for displacement, I've only ever done that process for pre-rendered meshes, never real-time. Would that be the equivalent to a height map… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 3.02 is Available now!
@BradMyers82: A thickness map is on our list of things to add for a future version. The AO is indeed baking from the highpoly source, and is not generated from the normal map. Toolbag 3's baker uses the GPU rather than the CPU, which is why it is so much faster than CPU bakers like xNormal. -
Re: Soviet KV-1 Heavy Tank WIP
I don't think it's the fault of Maya / xNormal. You should assign the good smoothing group to the mesh in order to have a proper baking. The result of the bake in Max will be the same, as long as you don't assign the right smoothing groups. This should help.… -
Re: Is baking only within the envelopes faster?
theres a chance that your ao won't match your normal maps. i would say maya gives a cleaner bake than max although it takes longer. I like Xnormal for its speed. but i never get the results i want out of it, I only use it if i have to. -
Re: workflow problems
well there generally no 'formal' sign off stage for each part, like low poly/sculpt/texture sign off or if there was it became a bit muddy as the process developed. ie quick blockout, then detail pass on some cloth, they maybe some work on the hair to get signed off. then they might decide the proportions were not what… -
Baking Directional Light Maps in Blender? Is that possible?
Hi folks I was trying to make a Directionality Lightmaps (Radiosity Normal Mapping) Find whis topic, but unfortunately its outdated and all the images are gone :/ : https://polycount.com/discussion/71538/how-to-directional-lightmaps-with-3dsmax-vray Currently this is what im doing: Here's my 3 basis which i use to bake GI… -
Re: School Girl
Yeah it's not your gfx card. Your normals are broken. I'm guessing because you are perhaps using non manifold geometry for the hair which Maya doesn't like. edit polygons>normals>set vertex normal> ( open dialog box ) >unlock normals. If that doesn't work reset all the normals. edit polygons>normals>set to face. -
Re: Texturing workflow technical help!
The difference in green channel value you are seing is probably coming from a confusion of terms. "Bent" normals refers to a technique that fakes some extra shading by bending the normals in a way that is not just related to the surface of the high, but also to cavity information. That way when light shines down an object… -
Substance vs Zbrush for panel lines
I’ve been trying to create panel lines in ZBrush, but they’re still coming out jagged, even with a mesh subdivided to around 25 million polys. is there a better method for getting clean panel lines in ZBrush? Or should i just handle them directly in Substance instead? i have modelled my model in maya, and have imported it… -
Re: Learning modern texturing from scratch?
Also you will need a solid understanding of theory and practice behind PBR and Normal map baking. Here's some links that I find quite useful. --------------------------------PBR----------------------------------------- Allegorithmic’s PBR Guide Part 1-2 — a good place to start reading on PBR, has almost everything you need…
