Re: Default normal map texture out is RGB+A, how come?
Other texture maps (height, AO, etc) are often packed into the normal map alpha channel. If you don't need to put anything in A, you can change the dropdown to RGB. -
Re: Normal map from a texture
bake your normal maps from HP to LP. than bring the normalmap into photoshop, and use something like crazybump or NDO on the concrete texture to get normal details out of it than past it into a layer above the baked normal map, set it's blending to overlay, and open the layer properties and uncheck the blue channel. Than… -
Tris causing normal map issues
This is a watch for the character I'm currently working on Smooth shaded Weighted normals Wireframe of tris. Had to add this bevel because my lowpoly couldn't catch the bevels in that area even after I manually adjusted the cage in blender UVs Normal map(smooth shaded) -
Dual normal mapping -- form and detail.
Hey all, Okay, here's my problem. I currently have a tree asset that has a tangent space normal map baked from a higher poly model -- thus requiring unique UV space (UV1). Basically, the object's form. Now, I'm trying to use a tiled UV channel (UV0) to produce a higher detail material normal map and diffuse for the bark… -
Answered: Albedo- / Colormap gone in 3do after normal creation
I want to see the albedo + normal map in my 3do viewport after creating a normal map from a reference. (In the past 3do has previewed a textured model including normal + albedo after creating a normal from a referencem, how can I activate that again?) After importing a picture / texure into PS I create a normal from it.… -
Exporting vertex normals?
Hey all, I'm currently just messing around with getting a detailed tree inside UDK, I've used slide normal thief (I'm not sure if I've done that right in the first place - but looks okay) and I'm bringing it into UDK. As for the problem, I'll let the image do the talking: EDIT: I'm finding that my vertex normals only work… -
Re: I fail at normal maps
The second object looks like either: A: the vetex normals have gotten flipped on some of the faces, or B: the object has been scaled by -1 on one of its axis. You will get bad artifacts across UV seams in unreal, and a number of game engines, as a UV seam automatically breaks the vertices on import. This creates an… -
Incorrectly Baked Normal Maps
Hello all. I'm baking normal maps for the first time and I'm experiencing a rather annoying problem. In the background is the source mesh, a briefly made corridor section, and in the foreground is a low-polygon version with the exact same dimensions. I super-imposed the two over each other and baked 2k tangent-space… -
Headaches in Max with Edit Normals and Attach
Working on a game model here, 3ds Max 8, and using Edit Normals extensively. I'm noticing that the normals are reset when I attach one model to another. They're removed from the mesh being attached. Very annoying. Here's a screenshot. I have this low-polygon redwood tree that uses mapped planes for the branches/leaves, and… -
Re: modo normal problem
Normal editing in modo's a bit of a pain. There's a Vertex Normal vertex map you can add to set explicit normals. I'm not 100% sure how you go about editing them other than setting an explicit value through the Vertex Map >Set Value tool. Which you have to do for each component of the normal :/ There's Vertex Map > Set…
