Re: xNormal - normal map baking - distortion
This is only necessary when your lowpoly mesh it too lowpoly and there are no verts at the place of highpoly details. The ray direction upon baking will go along average normal directions. So imagine this same mesh with averaged normals displayed. That is the reason for why did you get the distortion, because the "view… -
Re: [SOLVED] TB 3.04 -> High poly normal baking issue
Hey I think this is a known issue that we have a fix in the works for. It happens when the same material is used on the low poly and parts of the high poly, causing the baked data to show up on the high and bake back down to the low. Can you make sure the gray area of the high poly is using a different material than the… -
Re: Walther p22 Based Pistol-Game Model *Need Advice*
Are there any problems with doing an exploded bake? If there are no significant disadvantages I can't see why you wouldn't explode the mesh for baking because you're going to get cleaner results, the gun I recently did required to be exploded for the cleanest bake. If there are reasons however to avoid exploded bakes then… -
Question about Art Tests and High-Low Poly Bakes
So I'm attempting to do Spash Damage's art test and had a few questions in mind.. When dealing with subtle details like the indentations in a highpoly model, should I actually physically model those out or would be okay if I just did them in photoshop, after the baking process. What I'm asking is really whether most… -
Re: Software for retopologising, texturing, baking, rendering a handpainted scene?
I'm a Blender user, but my personal choices for baking are: * xNormal -> normal, vertex/polypaint color maps, and simple AO tool (extremely easy software to use) * Substance Designer -> ambient occlusion, curvature, thickness maps (for character's translucency of the skin) Occasionally I might bake AO in Blender too, but… -
[Zbrush] How to make a cylinder with a wider base than top with a linear transition?
I'm not sure if it's possible but it would make some things easier to block out. What I'm looking to do is quickly block out an arm using 2 cylinders and I'm trying to make it so that it flows like this: Shoulder width -> Elbow width ; Elbow Width -> Wrist Width I can definitely just build it up / push it down and make it… -
Re: Bake multiple objects in Max in one map
I used to do that, but if you make changes you end up deleting the merged and remaking it. So it just sits there, hidden in case you make changes to your bake settings. Also depending on how dense the scene is and how big of an impact the floaters have doubling them up could really bog things down. If you forget they're… -
Re: Seam appearing in Mudbox normal map bake
Hey back with some renders. Also double-checked my settings and I was baking the normals for 3ds max so all fine there. I re-did the UVs and baked at 2k so some of the seams and errors I was getting previously have decreased although the smaller branches dont have that much detail to them due to the UV space given over to… -
Baking detail into a low poly model from a hi res
I was wondering if there is a good way to bake in the detail from a high res model to low poly one. I'm not refering to normal mapping. Let say you model a hi poly tank, with the intention of using it to generate the texture of a low poly model. You take the time to model the bevels so it catches the highlights and all… -
Tutorial: Tileable Textures from Photoscan Bakes
Hi Guys, just now i finished and uploaded my first tutorial on how to create tileable textures out of non tileable photoscan bakes. You will learn how to make multiple maps tileable at once. In my tutorial im working with 2 Textures. A Photo from a treebark and a photonormal of it. Quick and dirty. Sure you can work with…
