another normal map problem :(
Hey there. I wil try to be short. I read a lot of stuff about normal maps - here and in other forums but there is still a lot more left. Currently I am trying to bake normal map for my character and i have a lot of cylindrical shapes. I read Ben Mathis tutorial about the normal maps and simply to prevent the wavy lines… -
Normal maps ruin reflections
I have a problem with adding scratches to the body of the car I modelled. I decided not to bake the whole shape and go with higher polycount. But I still need normal maps for wear and tear and some minor damage/details. But when I apply normal maps they totally ruin my reflections. I baked only these small strips 1)Without… -
Crytiff Normal map error
The normal map appears perfect on the model in Marmoset toolbag however, when I was converting the normal map to Crytiff format in Photoshop I got this error: Could anyone elaborate a bit more and explain what is actually the problem? It also occurs with other normal maps from other models. If I was going to 'normalize the… -
Normal Map on Cylindrical objects
I am having the same issues over and over when I do normal maps on hard surface cylindrical shaped objects. I've been trying different solutions but nothing seems to fix it. Does anybody have any suggestions to fix some of these normal map problems? High Poly exported from Zbrush, Low poly and cage exported from 3ds max,… -
[3ds max] [maxscript] script to export/import explicit normals
hello! I need a script to save and then load explicit normals for selected objects. so the process is like this: * select object * press button to export normals into a file. normals saved along with object name * deselect/object again * press a button to read saved file. script sees the name in the file and if this name… -
Substance Designer - How to approach recalculating the normal map?
Heya Polycounters! I am currently working on a node which takes all kind of textures as input and outputs the same textures just tiled and eliminates the visible tiling. (Proof of Concept, using normalmap created from heightmap) I have got it working for really just any other texture input (Color, Height, Roughness, Ao,… -
Re: Smoothing Groups and Normal Map Seams
Yes, smoothing groups will affect your normal map baking. Smoothing (or hard/soft edges) is just a way of controlling vertex normals and normal maps are defined as deviation from the vertex normal. So you change the vertex normal and the normal map has to change to accommodate. A real-world example where you want a… -
Photoshop + Normal maps + Smoothing problems
Greetings guys this is my first post here on Polycount but I have been lurking for awhile (just registered tonight, this thread was the plunge I needed to do so) Anyways here's my issue. I have this model, it's a low poly Glock 17 that I am using with a normal map baked from a high poly, all done in 3DS Max 2013. All is… -
Inverted normal maps - 3D max to unity.
Morning all. I've been having this issue where i've been trying to import a model into Unity however places where the geometry has been mirrored (using symmetry in 3D max) results in inverted normals. The normals maps should have been produced properly and created as I have always done them (create retopo, symmetry, offset… -
Re: Weird Question: can I preview SP height to normal conversion in SD?
Thx, yeah I am not mixing normal and height, I always just pick one. But height isn't viewable as normal in SD; so what I am trying to do is to create a normal output that will be the same as the height -> normal conversion in SP. Added benefit: I can expose an intensity control for Normal, so if I am not happy with the…
