Baking of Cages
Hello, Everyone! Have some intresting problems with baking. I have HP(Hi-Poly) radiator grid of automobile: I tried to normals bake it into plane: I used Marmoset Toolbag 3, without padding and got that result: I heard something about alpha-channel to make holes transparent. I made alpha map and got my holes>:) And finaly… -
Re: xNormal Baking Problem
What use is this base color texture for? Flat color textures used as your actual diffuse/albedo? Or just a simple material ID texture for masking? Your highpoly does not need UVs in this scenario. There are some instances where you can have some sort of displacement/graphics projected onto a high res mesh and that gets… -
baking ptex to normal uv
heyho.. I'm trying to transfer / bake a ptex texture to a normal uv mapped texture. I've created the ptex paint in mudbox. Atm I have the problem that I run out of memory VERY quickly. I have 48GB of ram and baking a 8k texture from the 26mil tries highpoly makes the pc run out of mem and enter a half-not-responsive state… -
(Help) 3D High Poly Baking - Trouble with Simplicity
So I'm a beginner modeler, modeling a Trigun for my own personality enjoyment, and I finished it. However, I sub-d'd it and now I need to bake shit. I thought it would be simply however i was wrong. The BULLETS aint working (easiest thing to do, so i did it first.) HP Bullet LP Bullet So you take the too, unwrap the low… -
Baking - workflow question
Hello, I`m having a bit of confusion on how to plan my workflow. There are two main things I want to achieve: 1: Paint my color base with Polypaint in ZBRush. Bake this eventually. 2: Use 3DSMax's "Hit Only matching Material ID" function to avoid baking issues with close geometry. I'm aware that XNormal does not support… -
Problems when putting the textures from the high poly bake on the low poly wrap
Hi Im really new on 3D modeling and now im trying to make an item for the DOTA workshop. It´s shoulder item for Mirana which must be 400 tris the limit, i make the low poly wrap and i do the bake as i saw in an official autodesk tutorial (though the tuto was with a sword and im working with another thing, just used the… -
Re: 3ds max baking rant thread
There is a valid point to using max *because* it is broken. You see, most bakers/engines arent synced up. Which essentially means everything is broken. So if you're using max' broken viewport display, you have to do things like add lots of extra geometry, make sure you have plenty of hard edges, etc to get a quality… -
Re: Baking tutorial recommendations
I used to have a lot of trouble with baking as well. I feel that I have a layman's understanding of the process now, but I actually found a tool (somebody here told me to try it) that allows me to get perfect bakes consistently even without fully understanding the minute details of the process. The tool is Marmoset Toolbag… -
Small props PBR + normal baking practice
Having neglected PBR for some time, i finally want to have some practice with it. And the same time I want to get more experienced with highpoly/lowpoly modelling + normal map baking so I thought making some small props could help me with this. For now, i'm fond of making retro/vintage kitchen apparal but maybe i will also… -
Re: Baking a tube
Thats a not so good practice because of multiple reasons, even though it could possibly work in some rare cases, but it would usually lead to other artifacts. First of all, the shading of the lowpoly (vertex normals) is taken into account when the normal map is baked. This is why sometimes you see triangulation lines or…
