Re: Of Bit Depths, Banding and Normal Maps
I once saw an excellent illustration for this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere now. Anyway its hard to explain without pictures to someone unfamiliar with the math, but I'll give it a shot. So picture a cube that is the full 8-bit RGB color space (each axis corresponding to R, G, and B respectively, and varying from 0… -
Re: Overlaying normals in UT3 material editor?
the way epic did it in GoW for the detail normals is to multiply the normal map you want to overlay with a constant3 with R1, G1, B0 (normal in A, constant3 in B) and then use an Add with the base normal in A and the overlay in B. they also tiled the detail normal with a TextureCoordinate node, but that's probably not… -

Re: Normal map - how to extract edges to diffuse map

Or you could also load your normal map in Crazybump, and create an Occlusion map with a Power of 0, and high Enhance Detail setting. For more info look into Curvature and Cavity maps (there's some info on the… -
Re: Hair Plane normals in UE4
Have you tried rendering the normal with mental ray? Switch to mental ray renderer, assign a standard material to the hair and put a "normals make normal" map type in the self-illumination slot. The normal make normal map can be found in the metaSL section of the available map types. It renders in world space, but rendered… -
Reducing Normal/Roughness Intensity
Hello, Is there anyway to reduce the Normal/Roughness Intensity on Marmoset other than having to do this externally? I've noticed the maps intensity levels is a lot stronger when imported into Toolbag i.e. a lot glossier or stronger normals, whereas they appear reasonably low on Substance Painter. The current Roughness… -
Normal maps looking different from Substance Painter to Marmoset?
Hey, I've had issues before where normals maps in UE4 look 'wrong' with artefacts on edges and whatnot but in Marmoset, they all looked fine - it was just the way it was being shown in UE4. Now however, I'm having the problem where my baked normals look fine in Substance but in Marmoset I have dark edges, almost as though… -
Normal Map, you CRAZY!!!
Hi! A quick normal mapping question! I'm still feel new to 3D modeling, so I apologize for any noobishness. Long story short; modeled a space ship, playing around with diffuse, normal and space maps and how to make them. Normal map created in Photoshop using nDo. Testing out the Normals in 3DS and here's my issue! Standard… -
