How to make better Normal Map
Attachment not found. so my problem is that the patterns on my low poly model looks extremely flat. is there a way to make the patterns more 'portruded' outwards? is there a setting on xNormal that can help achieve what i wanted? and what is the use of Cage? is the reason why my model dont look the way it is because i dont… -
Re: Making A Portfolio
go carbon made, as Vig says, is simple yet nicely displayed, html is "easy"....... but if you want to make a "good" job it still take you some time ( that you can use getting better in art)...and far beyond html, css, javascript, cms...(if not you might end up with a cheesy looking website not pulling the best of your… -
Re: How do I know what should be normal mapped/baked in an environment?
You can bake everything if you want to, but you can also keep baking to absolute minimum (close to zero). Take a look at the environments in Alien Isolation or Ruiner for examples. Large modular pieces wouldn't be baked (like you said, walls, roads, etc), but made with higher res geometry (chamfers) and tileable textures -… -
Re: SDF. what do you think of it?
SDFs are used in many different ways like making reading text in games less pixelated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGZRHJvJYIg 2D wise it can also be used for example in creating rain hitting the floor, creating a raindrop effect, 3D wise, intersections to visualize visibility shapes, ranges... or like a less resource… -

Maya how to make instances share material assignment?
So I made a model, instanced it a bunch of times in the same scene. I wanted to then update the main model and apply a different material to it, but the material only gets applied to that one instance of the model. Any way to make an instance and have it look to the parent for the material as well? -
Re: Baking problem (or understanding-problem?)
I agree, the high poly probably does have sharp edges? They should be beveled so there is something a bit smoother to capture. goekbenjamin with sharp edges or ultra-tight bevels, you're basically giving the texture two extreme choices of pixels to choose from, 0 or 255, black or white, this face or that one. It's very… -
how do you make hair?
i realise that this can be largely dependant on the engine you're using, and how it handles alpha channels and the like. so here's the question: how do you handle hair? how would you go about recreating FFXIII style hair? are you satisfied with the current "limitations" when making it? what do you think could be done… -
My thoughts on Normal Baking by with UV matching
My thoughts on Normal Baking by with UV matching. Another post here in Polycount talked about the difficulty in baking perfect normal maps for models with low poly holes and tube shapes. But it didn't address an important alternative IMO. (I didn't see it in the wiki) A way I go about avoiding distortions is by matching… -
Re: Substance Painter Baking Issues - Weird Sharp Normals
Hi! Do you have hard edges that are not split in the UV unwrap? On those you would get such artifacts. On the image I can't really make out mesh shading due to the small size and texture. What I'd look for is hard edges and whether the corresponding UV edges are split. Zip and attach the low poly mesh if you want it looked…
