Re: Normal Maps baking wrong
Looks like your normal map is loaded as a bump map, not a normal map. If you're in max, make sure to load the "normal bump" material and then load the normal into that, instead of simply loading the normal map into the bump slot. Really you shouldn't be using the default material system/scanline renderer anyway, you should… -
The Maya Cylinder Normal Map Problem
So I have been wanting to bake some normal maps for a western styled six-shooter but I'm getting some issues around cylinder edges. Before you jump the gun and start throwing links of the Polycount Normal Map wiki, End All Be All Normal Map thread, Poopinmymouth's normal map tutorial, and the 1.05MB SWF file on Maya normal… -
3ds Max Normals in Marmoset Toolbag
I can't get Normal maps that were baked in 3ds Max to display properly in Marmoset Toolbag. Below is a screenshot of 3ds Max Normals in Marmoset Toolbag: If I use Handplane and convert the 3ds Max Normals to Unity Normals they display A LOT better: Is this a known issues? I assume that it has to do with the tangent basis.… -
Crazy normals!
I have a pretty simple shape I'm working with but the normals are just not cooperating. 1) Turning off "double sided" in Maya reveals that the normals are reversed. 2) Displaying face normals reveals that the normals appear to be facing the correct direction? 3) The cage created is mangled like crazy. I assume that even if… -
Re: Normal Map Issues
The cage is just barely big enough to cover the highrez model, here is a render of the low rez with the normals applied. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/831/normals2.png/ I have tried using Xnormal without the cage using the raytrace measuring tool but I get the same results. That line near the barrel is very… -
Seam in Normal map in UDK
http://www.nickfarley.co.uk/seam_issue.jpg Hi, I'm making a large rainforest type tree but am having issues with dark seams in the normal map when I import it to UDK. My creation process is - - Low poly in max where I uv map it. - Import to Z brush where I sculpt and polypaint it. Export the polypaint to a texture using… -

Normal seams only visable from certain distance and angles?
Well this is a new one, for me at least. The seams aren't visible from all angles or all distances. In fact, the closer the camera, the better it gets to the point of not even being able to tell. Is this a rendering issue or a serious normal map issue? I'm using four 4096 textures (diffuse, normal, spec) for head, arms,… -
Problem with Normals
I've been having this problem with my normals after baking and using within 3dS max engine and the 3 Point shader. As you can see the mesh looks horrible with the normal applied, this is what the normals look like in the UV, from what I can see obviously something up with the mesh but when inspected I cant find any… -
