Normals/Displacement Maps
Hi, A few questions if I may..I understand that normals work well in game engines etc but if you are doing work that is to be rendered out and used in computer or tv playback...what is the best method to get fine details onto geometry? I have tried and also seem to get lousy results in rendering out in 3ds max (mental… -
Normal map issue
Hi. So I have this face model divided into 3 polygroups in Zbrush, so the lips don't project on top of each other when baking normal map in SP. Until now everything is fine but I want to pose the face in Zrbush and in order to do that I need model to be homogeneous. So I welded all the points on polygroup bordeds… -
Normals Baking Issue
Hi guys I'm having a really weird issue baking normal maps, that I've never come across before. I'm trying to bake several high poly meshes down onto their low poly counterparts, and every time I do it I get a completely blank normal map that renders almost instantly. I've checked and double checked the normals, the UV's,… -
Re: Maya Beginner - Normal map horrors
Thanks for your reply. Yep, like I say, I'm pretty much following video tutorials at this point. The super darkness is under default lighting and is a result of the normal map. I've found a workaround after reading about cross platform issues with normals. Basically my normals from mud box have weird edges (tangent… -
Re: Problem with Vertex Normals ?
It also depends on how polished the surface is going to be . Those shading gradients/artifacts could be compensated by synched normal map , not 100% perfect although. So if it's dirty or rusty surface with a lot of small bumps /normal map noise , it may be ok . If it's shiny metallic surface even synced normal maps would… -
Re: I don't understand how to face weight normals. Can someone help?
Should be perfectly fine by my records. But I don't use Unreal . I suggest to visualize vertex normals and check if they are ok. Also check you don't have doubled vertexes accidentally and your weighted normal modifier is the last operation. If you triangulate for export after weighting normals it may totally mess it . ps.… -
Issue w/ simple Substance Painter Normal Bake
Hi everyone, I'm struggling with this seemingly simple normals bake. Along the seam I end up getting this weird normals difference. I'm have trouble finding a fix. Here are a few images to illustrate my issue. Normal Bake result from Substance Painter. Using default settings Low Poly High Poly -
How to get normal map results like in handplane, without handplane?
Hey all, I've been using Handplane these past few days, and results are coming out nicer and cleaner, but I have to wonder - if I didn't have Handplane, how could I get similar results? I never got too deeply into the technical stuff, I would usually just bake out of xnormal and accept whatever I got. How do you make sure… -
Edge seams material issue artifacts (normal+height map)
Hi! I'm working on some furniture, but I have found a problem with the texturing steps. As you can see in the images, when I apply the material (a stylized material bought from an artist in Artstation), it gaves me some strange artifacts at the edges, which are also the UV seams. It only appears at the far… -
Normal Map green value gradient
Hey there folks, so I am having a certain issue with my normal map that has to do with the green channel having small seams in it. I didn't notice it until I brought it into Marmoset and saw the reflections breaking. I'm using Maya for my 3D program and I'm baking the exploded mesh in xNormal. This is the section in the…
