Re: Topology Help: How to Split Faces to Fix Choppy Lighting?
Ok an N-pole shading error - (a vertex where 5 or more edges meet) which forces Blender to average face normals across different angles, causing dark spots or "pinching" artifacts when using smooth shading. And here's a few options that may resolve the problem 1. To fix the Normals and Smoothing often, shading artifacts… -
Re: Synched normals with one smoothing group - should I even bother?
I see it here. https://unity3d.com/unity/beta/unity5.3.0b5 If this is incorrect then it can easily be added to your own project by finding the tangent to world transform in your CGIncludes shaders. Alternatively you could construct your own vertex shader which would look something like my code below (Using Unity 4).… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Can someone illustrate an example of a good reason or result of using a smoothing group in addition to the averaged normal cage in xnormal? I don't quite get that part or why its of value. Is it so large faces are easier to paint on in photoshop or apply details, ie they are more just the normal blue color? I thought… -
Re: UDK normal map compression issue (or I'm really bad at normal mapping)
That's extremely odd, but seeing this rules out anything about the normal map, but instead how Maya is rendering it. I'm no Maya expert, I can't offer much help, however, might I ask if the normal map is 32-bit or 16-bit? Seems silly to ask, but tickle me curious (not too much). I see stair stepping of the gradient which… -
Re: Xnormal Bake - Hole in Normal Map
Look at the vertex normals. I'll bet the tip's normal points away from that side. You need to split the tip normal into a few vertex normals, to prevent the gradients from being so extreme. -
Seams on normal map.
Hello there. I know there was lot of similar topics and i read a lot of them (I really did :) ). Also checked out a wiki articles about normal mapping but still can't solve my problem. I did a test bake and in the first look the model with normal map looks fine. But if zoom close enough there is a seam where UV shells… -
Re: Blender Weighted Normals
Hi! It looks like some modifiers were carelessly applied to this mesh before, or it was exported from somewhere, so it has some issues at the moment: - your beveled edge is not only marked as Sharp, it's actually ripped - you can see this in Edit Mode if you try to select and move a vertex there. You'd need to select all… -
Normal map from Xnormal not rendered right in Substance painter
I'm a beginner to substance painter and to texturing in general, and I'm trying to get used to working with Xnormal for making normal maps, but when i finally work everything out (seemingly) and get a good looking map that renders correctly in the xnormal 3Dview i find that when i import the normal map into substance… -
Re: Help people with normal map baking methods?
Hi! Attached are box bakes created with xNormal v3.19.39669[x64] and Substance3DPainter v8.3.1, exported through Blender. In xNormal, didn`t find an option to save as 24bit, just 32 bit (alpha channel). I used the default settings mainly, except for BoxHard, which I baked with a cage, because the use average normal setting… -
Normal map issues (Maya/xNormal)
Just trying to bake some basic shapes. High poly: Low poly with unlocked, conformed, and softened normals: Low poly with normal map applied: Normal map: Got someone I'm working with to give it a shot and his ended up flawless without bevels (He tried it again on a different computer and had the same weird results I got) So…
