Issue with Normal bake, please help
I'm having an issue with normal map bake, and I've exhausted all options I can think of. This pinch and seam on a simple flat surface will not go away. I have baked this in Marmoset, Painter, and xNormal with every setting possible, with and without a cage. Hard edges, soft edges. Object space and world space normal maps… -
Static objects wont bake shadows
Hello, I am making a city scene in Unity and so far I have some trees next to a sidewalk. The shadows from the trees bakes flawlessly onto the sidewalk, yet they wont bake on to the road. Both models are static objects with the cast and receive shadows options checked. Any clue? -
Baking normal maps.
Hi, I am having some performance problems importing many hi poly meshes into 3D max to bake my models and tiling textures. I currently have many bricks, slabs and tiles of 200k to 400k polygons ready to be organized together and baked on models and flat planes as textures. But when I want to create a texture from say 20… -
substance painter Slow AO and thickness bakes
So all the other bakes are super fast and really great, but is there any way to speed the AO and the thickness? I am working on a character and right now these maps just take forever to bake, specifically the thickness map. -
Re: Baking workflow improvement
You can use it to batch bake using xnormal: http://www.froyok.fr/blog/2012-10-maya-froxnormal-0-6-an-xnormal-batcherexporter-for-maya You could also bake tga's with alpha maps, and make a quick action in photoshop to create a selection from alpha channel and apply as mask to get your baked part clean. -
Ditching Geometry Caches for Maya-to-Unreal Lattice Rigs
Wanted to drop a quick pipeline piece we did solving a data-bloat problem. We needed a reusable, highly deformed eye rig setup for a stylized project, but relying on geometry caching to bake out the lattice deformations was killing our data foot print. We’ve shared a quick, high-level teaser of the rig over on LinkedIn if… -
3ds max fur, render to texture bake.
I am making this squirrel and wanted to use the Fur modifier and do a render to texture bake but I am not sure if that is possible...any ideas? I just see these amazing results from the fur modifier and wanted to bake it onto a map. -
Re: Can't bake normals without seams along polygon edges
SO had a look at the files and baked out a couple tests. Your low poly still had a couple modifiers in the stack. Generally I collapse the stack before baking out. After I did that the normals baked just fine. Here's a screen grab with 3-point shader Also a zip with two normal map sizes and the screen grab...… -
Re: Yet another normal-baking issue
Only if your bake is set up incorrectly should smoothing groups have an effect on your end result. If we follow these rules, the results should be the same with/without: A. Split uv chunks where hard edges/smoothing groups are B. Make sure projection cage is averaged Putting everything on 1 smoothing group may cause other… -
Re: Octane render Blender addon
thanks okidoki Unfortunately they doesn't mention any issues I have. I found a few workaround on my own although. Support is still totally silent for some uncertain reason. Octane is still a champion when you need to tweak and render complex bioms using its cool GPU based scatter on surface nodes put in groups . If you…
