Re: aplying z brush normal map?
If you've already got the normal map saved somewhere, you just need to plug the normal map into the material editor in max. Open the material editor, find the map slot "bump", click it, select "normal bump" from the list, and add in your normal map. Also iirc the default bump value in 3ds max is set to 30, so change it to… -
Re: Mudbox Normal Mapping

After that right click inside the viewport and click assing new material and choose the first one. After that go to :ayers and choose paint and import layer and choose your saved normal… -
Correct normal map preview in newer versions of max?
Hi Everyone, I haven't used any of the recent versions of 3dsmax- Is there currently a way to view normal maps synced to the scanline renderer in max 2013 or 2014? I have a handplane user wanting to see his normal maps correctly in the max viewport and I'm not sure if the 3point shader will work or if the qualified normals… -
how to unify normals on 2 objects
Hi..Guys I got an issue of lighting on 2 meshes attach together, found it's becouse normals on vertexs are different. ex.

3dsmax - viewing normal map error
I have Max 8 and want to create / view normal maps, but they display as solid black in the viewport. I'm sure I have everything setup correctly but when I check "DX Display of Standard Material" it goes black. When I uncheck it, the diffuse displays correctly. (the normal map texture looks correct too - and when I render,… -
3d max scanline and normal maps
Hi, I've created a normal map from a heightmap using nvidia plugin in Photoshop. But now when I render it in the scanline render of Max it doesn't look good. Those 8 rectangles shouldnt be protruding. I've done it in nvidia plugin with invert Y activated, I think this is the right way to do it for max. Apparently the… -
3D Coat - Normal Display Error?
I'm getting what I think is a display error but I'm not sure. I have the most up to date version of Coat and when the normals are turned on, there are a few places where this shows up. If I break off the effected geo it still stays, and if I triangulate the mesh, it stays but changes a little. I have the green on there to… -
Creating a normal map of a fluid simulation
I'm a VFX artist and I found this video a little while ago of someone who created an animated smoke texture with an animated normal map. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doICanjKmpQ"]VIDEO[/ame] I'm wondering how you can render a normal map from a fluid simulation created by something like Maya Fluids or FumeFX. I've… -
Re: Student's xNormal Bake Issues
I suspect you need to invert the green channel of your normal map (or switch the Y setting of your normal map bake properties in xNormal to be the opposite of what it currently is then rebake it). You might also look into ensuring your low poly mesh is properly triangulated before exporting. -
Math behind Cubemaps and Normals (and how redo it manually?)
Heya to all, A silly question, I'm sure, but I was wondering if anyone could explain to me the 'math' behind a cubemap and a normal and how they would work, but also, how would one go about 'declaring' them manually, or reconstructing them back? Here is an example of what I mean: -I'm using an engine. -When I import my…
