Artifacts on normal map bake
Hey Polycount, I'm trying to bake a normal map for this guitar in Substance Painter, but i'm getting these strange artifacts when I test the normal map in Marmoset Toolbag 2. I don't see these artifacts in Substance Painter I originally thought it may be the topology on the highpoly model, so I retopologized the highpoly… -
UE4 Problem with normals
hi, i want to create an lowpoly mesh for ue4 in maya2010 with rounded (smooth) edges for ue4... but everything i tried, was not acceptable for me: - i made an lowpoly mesh in maya 2010 and went to zbrush and subdivided it several times, so that it looks good for me. - after this i exported this highpoly as an obj. - than i… -
The Struggle of workflow for games
Cheers guys. So i've been into 3D for a while now, but there is this one thing that keeps messing with me and its constantly on my mind when im making stuff, am i doing it the wrong way around? when do i do what. So to give an example, if i make a house in maya, consisting of several pieces, and some are the same copied… -
Re: Weird bake issue
Hi! Hard to tell the exact issue without more context (share files for it to be reproduced), texture of those parts looks like padding to me (ergo rays not hitting any highpoly?). To debug, I would isolate this part, see if the issue still occurs. If this part get used multiple times across the model, I'd ensure UVs of… -

Highpoly is just about done :D (I haven't decided if I want to do up the back of it or not.) -
Re: Baking problem (or understanding-problem?)
Looks to me like the highpolys edges are sharp, no bevels of any sort, so no detail to bake anyways? With curved edges, sometimes it`s an option to have more geometry at along the border closely matching the hp, collapsing edges in areas that are less-silhouette defining. -
Re: Game art pipeline
So. Those fantasy weapons are a pretty good choice for starting, because usually they aren't too complex. Do this: Method/Style 1 - Highpoly->lowpoly->baking normal and other maps 1. Make basemesh in your modeling software (Maya in your case) - Model the forms, separate the parts that should be separated. Like if it would… -
Re: MunitionsStation
Looks pretty good Daniel, I think you really came pretty close to the actual model the original team made. Did you make a highpoly for this? If so it would be nice to see it, because it looks like some of your corners on the main container are way to soft. Notice in the concept there are 2 hard edges on every corner… -
Re: Normal map artifact when baking.
Without seeing how you line up your high- and lowpoly-meshes, seeing your UVs and what settings (and in ZBRush which techniques) you are using for baking it's hard to tell. Spontaneously this could be a UV issue. Do you have overlapping UVs at the positions where the artifacts occur? Did you make sure that your topology is… -
Re: Jedi Academy Asset
The model is nice, but unfortunately the normalmaps (If you are using. I couldnt really tell) are not really.It looks like you are just using diffuse and maybe specular.90 degree angles are not good for normalmaps. A little more beveled shapes would be better. Also, use softer corner edges on the highpoly, because its also…
