Poly Normal Problems.
I am currently running Max 2008. Today I made a box, with the default light setup and did a 'Normals > Flip Normals'. I usually do this to start a room and begin pushing out hallways and whatnot. Today; the box turned black not letting me see inside. If I push the camera inside it is lit properly. I have changed my… -
Normal Maps Again
Im trying to see if I can find and justification to give to our programmer about incorporating 3Dc or DXT5_NM for tangent maps since I found out the engine we use can only do tangents - period. . I found nvidia's showing Ids document about the different normal map options.… -
Re: how manage mirrored normal maps
A normal map takes place in repair defined by the face normals and your UV's (the famous tangent space) So if you're uv's arent oriented the same way (here you have 90° or 180 rotations), the normal map patterns shouldn't have the same look. It also means that you can't simply rotate a normal map with the transform tool.… -
Re: Photoshop - Normal Map - Fillet the edges.
Well, I was hoping to do the entire B&W paint in my Normal Map slot in Mudbox, and have it pop up as calculations for the normals (Crazybump and nDo style) but it doesn't seem to work, I'm getting no depth or detail what-so-ever, just recess and faded face normals. On the other hand, I tried Bump, and it works perfectly,… -
Re: NVidia Normal Map filter problem
Tangent space normal maps consist of vectors relative to a polygonal surface, these vectors (X Y and Z) are represented in the red, green and blue channel - when normalised, these vectors all add up to 1. If they don't add up to 1, then the normal map is not normalised, and it may look odd when displayed (eg normals… -
resizing normal map
Has anyone found the most integral resampling method when resizing a normal map to half its original resolution? Is the ordinary 'bicubic' the best at resizing a sensative normal map, or another. -
Normal map compression and channel packing
I also posted the same question in the technical talk sub-forum: http://polycount.com/discussion/184005/normal-map-compression-and-channel-packing To avoid having split threads (and repair my mistake), consider posting your reply there instead! Intro: I've already spent 2 days trying to understand this and lost sleep over… -
Baking normals problem
Hello , I am baking normals with Substance but I am getting weird normals in proximity of seams, do you know why and how can I fix them? https://i.gyazo.com/587c5f223936020d52c5c379623351d5.jpg -
Maya 2014 Editing hard edge normals like Max
Hello everyone, I had to switch from 3ds max to Maya for work and I am having a problem with vert normals. I have a rounded modular wall section and I need the verts on the hard edges at the end (where the walls will meet) to point straight out instead of the slightly angled position it has be default (so there is no… -
High Poly vs. Normals Generation
Hey all, just a quick question to find out what people think and get some workflow tips ;) Ive been doing a bit of high poly modelling lately and recently tried out the 3D motive industrial door tut, which instead of modelling out a high poly mesh for the door, involves creating and generating the normals using Photoshop…
