Xnormal problems
Hi , everyone! I was wondering if you could help me with a Xnormal problem I'm having. When I try to do a normal map using this program, something weird happens. Instead of a full image,the actual normal map is just in a corner, very small, while the rest of the normal map is blank. I've been changing all the settings I… -
UT3 Normal map seams?
So I have this using Xoliul's shader in max: And when I bring it into UT3, none of the uv seams flow correctly. I baked the model with xnormal, and the entire model is symmetrical. I tried flipping the green and red channels around, as well as re-baking the normals with increased padding, and from other applications.… -
Re: cutted normal tops?
Hi man, actually your problem is that xNormal uses a bad ray distance to make the normal map. Just try to increase the maximum frontal or rear ray distance depend of the orientation of the normals of your low poly mesh (inside the "low definition meshes" panel). You can use the "ray distance calculator" in the tool panel… -
Re: Shading artefacts only in Source engine (normal map related?)
Thanks for the replies guys, I have taken a look at this thread http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107420 and i was also getting the idea i should try rebaking from xnormal, i'll give it a shot. I'm also a bit paranoic about Reset XForm, and use it quite often in 3ds max to avoid problems. I also use xViev to… -
Re: how to make a hard surface normal map
THX, there are great, and I have some test about the RGB channal ,but I don't know how is B channal work in a normal map,say 2 different noraml map have the different x y (R G)normal dirction,these two information determine the face's shodows but why we need a B channal,? -
Head with 2 sets of normals- projection for normals?
Hi, I've been working on the awkward task of transferring textures from one head to another, with very different features and anatomy between the two.The Albedo is good enough, I used projection. Now I would like to add in Normal details from the the new character and add them to the exisiting layer, which had good pores… -
Re: Apply Normal map to a mesh in Zbrush
I'm not sure what you're workflow is trying to do. If you have the normal map created in xnormal, then you don't need to do anything in zbrush. It's job (creating the highpoly sculpt) is officially done. Zbrush doesn't have any tools for previewing normal maps or using actual realtime shaders. You'll have to use a game… -
Re: 3DS Max Normals
UPDATE: I've experimented with various combinations of what has been recommended but problem is still there. Material is bumped specular which really highlights that there is a discrepency at the seam. The normal map applied in the above image was created by exporting OBJ from max 2015. Baking performed in Xnormal with and… -
Re: Normal Map issues around UV Seam
post your UV layout and normal map, as well. Here's an excellent video on normal map baking, it gets into cages and all that. The cage is basically just a scaled up version of your lowpoly, to fit both the low and high model inside it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGszEIT4Kww&list=FLA_HkCFHELYzKtJgYZZ1qRg&index=6 You'll… -
Low Poly Normals are getting baked into my Normal Map - HELP
Hi, I wanted to bake my high poly details on a normal map in Substance Painter, but when I do so and then export the textures, the shading on my model looks weird. Almost as if it had baked in the normals of my low poly mesh, which is smoothed, marked sharp on hard edges with uv seams. What am I doing wrong?
