Normal Map baking issue - 'dimples' in my map
This is a relatively new issue I'm hitting. I haven't done normal bakes in a while since I've been doing largely low poly and hand painted stuff so my workflow is a little shaky. But I've never hit this problem before and can't pin why it's happening. See the highlighted areas: There is some artifacting on the lips that I… -
ZBrush Vs. Xnormal Bake Aberration Query. Thank You.
Thank You. After four full working days of hand-wringing and research I've finally caved: I cannot solve this problem on my own. Apologies if this has been covered, but I really cannot find a solution anywhere. I cannot figure out what's causing the artifacts in the 1st normal map above. Viewed in DirectX/Stingray 3DSMax… -
Blender -> XNormal Baking Issues
Hi everyone, I've read a ton of threads here on this topic, and I'm still having some issues baking some simple normal maps in XNormal from Blender. I'm hoping if I post my own examples and particular workflow, I might be able to get some more specific advice. I'm starting with the high poly on a simple test object. I have… -
Maya 2015 mirrored normal map seam in mental ray?
I don't want to steal the thread or anything but a friend of mine at school got a very similar issue so thought I might ask here. Here's what we did: Using Maya 2015 Modeled half, UVed, mirrored across, mirrored UVs moved exactly 1 unit on U, set UV splits to hard edges - everything else to soft, baked world space normal… -
Re: Normal Mapping Issue - Zbrush to Maya

Re: On my Item,My Normal maps show a seam along the middle. I have no idea how to fix it.
Hi danny, 3 suggestions: 1) Make sure there isnt a smoothing split along the mirroring edge 2) Make sure you are creating an averaged projection in xnormal 3) Evaluate your normals in the target engine. Newer versions of 3dsmax have really wacky normal map display. -
Re: Normal Map (made in Photoshop = NO HP/LP BAKING) issue, advice appreciated :)
Hmmm "In fact, you could simply apply your NDO normal map to a subdivided model, and use that as your bake target." That's exactly the kind of solution I was expecting... but how would you do such a thing ? The only bakes I make are with Xnormal with a classic HP, LP and CAGE. I can't figure out how to do such a thing as… -
How do I remove these seems in my normal map?
I've produced this normal map for an old wooden plank and would like some feedback on it please. Specifically: It has some nasty looking seems that I would like to get rid of. But I'm not sure if I can do that by re-baking it and changing some options, or just paint it out in PS? Any other comments are welcome too: Overall… -
Re: 3ds max 2012 cuts out top of normal map bake
Problems with normal maps are left, right and centre on this board eh? Could you provide a little bit more information? How you're setting things up, the position of the low/high objects, the cage, the smoothing groups. Are you saving the image in the render window (don't do this) or taking it from it's save location?… -
