Baking ao for mechanical stuff for animation
As title says, i'm wondering what would be best way to bake somewhat complex mechanical machinery in way that would be in-game animation friendly. I'm creating kind-of-a mech with hydraulic legs, bending hydraulics hoses and jointed armor plates, and am hoping to animate it and take it to either UE or unity for renders.… -
Maya 2011 key baking hang
So i just recently upgraded my hardware, now running 64 bit maya 2011. i'm trying to bake a scene of 1900 frames, prior to my upgrade everything worked fine, (although much slower) but now i'm having an issue where the entire sequence bakes fine, but when it is performing the final calculation it just hangs indefinitely.… -
Re: [Maya/SketchFab] ~ Folded quads, may I tell renderers what diagonal to favour?
You typically triangulate before baking maps, for weird areas like you have you could manually cut the face so it doesn't mess up the geometry. I would also say that you should probably avoid baking maps in Zbrush, look into xNormal since it's free, but substance designer and marmoset toolbag have good bakers too. -
Re: Normal map seams everywhere except maya?
Hey-a @pior Yeah, i get what you are saying, and i kinda managed to get good results on the piece im actually working on (not a cube :smile: ) by adding chamfers to the edges, it kinda equalizes the score of 90 degree edge and a UV split vs 2 edges and no UV split (not exactly but kinda) Also i think i understand what you… -
Artifacts upon bake
Pretty much all the mesh maps have this weird artifact This is what it looks like before I bake: Im baking with default settings and an output size of 2048 with anti aliasing 4x4 other than that I havent changed settings. -
Artifacts when using the filter Baked Lightning Enviroment
I'm trying to bake lighting onto my model, but on the right side of it there are artifacts of inverted normals. Why is this happening? -

Re: Normal Map Issues at UV-Seams
Is this a render from Maya? What renderer? After baking, you want to make sure to NOT edit the baked normal map, nor edit the smoothing or UVs of the target lowpoly model. The baked normal map relies on preserving continuity from the bake process onward. Any edits can cause trouble. -
Re: Baking artifacts, tried everything...
You dont need to bake every piece seperatle, just move the lowpoly and the corresponding highpoly meshes away from each other. So that they dont intersect anymore. This is called "exploding" like mentioned in post #2. Those artifacts result from intersecting geometry. Your cage hits a surface which dont belongs to the… -
Re: Bake High Poly onto Low Poly than Hand paint textures on the Low Poly
@Caticus : sorry for being that guy but I have the feeling you might have a few things mixed up too :) Quote : "The usual workflow artists go through is creating the highpoly and lowpoly model > baking all of the maps on the highpoly > then transfering those highpoly maps onto the lowpoly model." Not at all. The…
