Zbrush doesn not render soft normals in viewport. Try using BPR render with soft normals turned on to see what it actually will look like. Zremesher isnt there to fix facetting, it can with enough density, but you might as well just subdivide your mesh once more.
Inflating your highpoly sounds like maybe a misinterpretation of a technique I know from Heroes of the Storm. Sculpts were given a slight inflate before the maps were baked to create thicker edge highlights. It ah, works a lot better with a dynameshed sculpt than it does with a hardsurface model.
Hey there, I'm happy to share a project I just finished for Unreal Marketplace, hope you like it. You can check it out if you like: Customizable Japanese Classroom :) ArtStation - Japanese Classroom - Unreal Engine 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeXvwkt4KxU
After some testing, the alternate method using layer blending works* sort of....there are still seams, but you have to be extremeley close up to see them. I had to set the layer amount to -0.45 which sounds like an oddball number, but it was what looked best visually. Still though, the first method is much cleaner.
Thanks again for everyones help[ thus far. I looked into Floater island baking and I gave it ago with mixed results. I'd like some critique on my texturing so far. I am putting this down now for a bit to get on with other parts of the project. But I'd like to be able to come back to this at a later date with a clear idea…
Hi everybody, I am writing to ask if anybody can direct me to good sources of information (articles, videos, pdfs..) regarding using models with chamfer and custom/weighted normals to make environments. I understand how to make the models with the desired shading but I would like to know more about texturing methods to…
Poking around with white balance, etc. Maybe an improvement maybe not! But I agree with sacboi about the overall mauve color feeling not too great. Like the xbox360 days when everything was color graded like crazy. I'd say dial that in, maybe, but perhaps keep it in the shadows, etc? I like it in bits, but it feels like a…
Yes I am able to boost the contrast by increasing the strength of both RNM color and normal map. Something like x2 for the colors to increase the gamma and x3 for the normals gives something very similar to ground truth:
