Re: nDo vs traditional baking
Painted bump maps converted to normals will never replace a baked normal map, except for a flat plane(tiling texture or whatnot). When you bake a normal map from a high res source, you're replacing the mesh normals from the low with those of the high, that means all the shading and everything, its literally impossible to… -
Re: baking AOs on multiple objects?
hello travisdreams You can use Xnormal, load your meshes in HighPoly's pannel and in LowPoly's pannel. When you bake your AO, just deactive the second object in low poly Pannel but let them checked both of them in highpoly. Repeat the operation on the second object. Don't forget to change the destination's name file You… -
Re: Can't bake one piece right
If you have this same geometry in multiple places, are they instances of the same geometry, or are they individual geometry with their own UVs. Don't bother with edge split modifier, it doesn't work most of the time and is outdated for your purposes. Are these pieces named properly? If so, check to make sure marmoset has… -
[ MAYA - ARNOLD ] Baking lights to textures
I know Arnold has the bake to texture function but i'm wondering if it's possible to bake in different passes like specular, ambient light, direct light, diffuse, so I can composite in PS later. I'm used to that in Turtle renderer but Turtle can't bake PBR materials. Any clues? Thanks! -
How to bake a character with multiple pieces?
Do you guy bake it as one grouped mesh? I am using xNormals. When I use it, I bake out each item separately. Boots. Hat. Clothes. Skin. But I was wondering, if there was a better way? Do you bake 1 whole low poly character with a whole high poly version? -
Re: Sketchbook: Francimnus
slowly getting back on working on my OC after being frustrated with it for a while, still defining the forms/proportions but it already feels way more skin-like than before also, another weapon concept attempt, really liked this one, i will probably make it -
Re: Unreal Engine, looking for feedback, thanks : )
It looks like there's a path on the left that leads to the bridge but it's not very obvious, so the untouched grass around the bridge entrances make it seem untouched by humans but very clean. Also this sounds stupid but I'm not smart enough to articulate it better, the lighting on the bushes seems a bit too dynamic… -
Painter: baking occlusion using an hemisphere while still using the match naming option
Hi guys! Got a question about baking occlusion maps in Painter; i'm used to using xNormal for baking, and i wanted to give Substance a go since the match naming option is really helpful (and overall, the baking process is more efficient). However, i usually use an hemisphere to get better light info (mentioned here) (since… -
Re: Is it possible to bake Inward Facing AO maps in Xnormal, or maya?
why not just make them outward facing, then select the lowpoly faces and invert the normals after the bake? -

Hi all i have a small issue .im a beginner and im trying to understand the normal map baking and my first issue that i have is that my edges after baking smooth edges model to a hard edges model.. that my result after i bake the high to the low poly , and i checked the UVs and i think they seem fine i also saw in a forum…
