Student - Need help with normal maps!
Hi! I'm a first year student, so I know next to nothing I've just made a piano. I added textures. When I import into unreal it looks flat and unrealistic. I believe I need to add normal maps to the materials? The lighting just needs to look better on it. I have tried for hours to find a decent tutorial on how to unwrap my… -
mudbox mac, cd4, normals maps
I've never connected the three, but just landed a decent gig to make 4 highly detailed character models for static rendered output. Anyone have any experience in this? I was thinking of the following setup: base mesh in cd4 > disconnect into separate parts > detail parts in mudbox and save back out > texture in mudbox and… -
UV overlapping with normal map in Maya
I have overlapped uvs for a jacket in Maya. The sleeves are sharing the same uv space and are not flipped. The normal map looks fine in the high quality rendering viewport, but when I render it out in mental ray, the right side is correct while the left jacket sleeve is inverted. I've been trying to figure out how to… -
Difference between Substance Painter's "Average Normals" baking and a traditional cage workflow?
Apologies if this has already been asked before but I'm wondering how SP (2.3) baking differs from using a cage in any other application (I used Max 2015). I mostly mean the "Average Normals" box. I did some test bakes with it off, like Tim Bergholz says, but I ended up with seams like in an explicit mesh normals workflow.… -
[MAX] Baking Normal map lighting info into diffuse map...
Hi guys. I have a situation where I need to import pre existing models into a game. All the models have diffuse, normal and spec maps. The game they are going into only allows for a diffuse map. I still want all that subtle lighting info included so I figured my options are as follows: A. Bite the bullet and hand paint the… -

Substance Painter - question: normal map darker on the upper side
I've been learning to use substance painter and the sculpt->make-normal-map-for-low-poly-mesh pipeline. I'm trying to make some textures and normal maps for bricks, stone and wood, baked them through substance painter, and they all turn out like that: Instead of something like that: My issue is that there seems to be more… -
Re: What exactly does average normals and set face do in Maya?
"Set to face" conforms the vertex-normal to the direction of the face while "average normals" calculates the average normal-direction and aligns the normals to that direction. -
Creating Height and Normal details
Hi there, I'm moving away from using the Quixel suite as I'm getting a few too many crashes lately and have become increasingly impressed while using a trial of Substance Indie. My question is though, for someone that has relied on using something like NDO to create normal information, how can this workflow be adjusted for…
