How to easily and quickly create a high-res, smooth version of hard-surface props for baking normal?
Hi Polycount 3D modelling experts, I am working on some props which require a normal map to go with diffuse textures. They don't need to exhibit much detail though, and are mostly just there to help bake a better diffuse texture and to make the final model look somewhat smoother. What I am looking for is a very easy, fast… -
Problem baking normal map with Blender and XNormal
Hi I just started to learn 3D modeling and texture baking. I've tried to bake normal map for simple objects like sword or an axe. But I always got an artifacts. So I've decided to try this process on much simpler material. Here is classic cube low polly: I've used texture atlas to unwrap it manually. Then I've created… -
How far do you usually space your UV's when baking? (at the edges)
I have a question about baking from Hi to Low. When you split your UV maps at the 90 degree edges, how far do you usually space them out from one another to avoid getting those weird baking errors? -
Re: Help With Skyboxes
Anyways, you not must use a cubemap or such thing. There are some fairly simple methods to render out to domes. https://juarez3d.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/tutorial_animated_skydome_v1-3.pdf You can even make it animated relatively simply...But if you don't want that, then you can use the baked/composited image. This can… -
refBoard maker for ..refBoard
EDIT: It seems that PureRef and Kuadro both do the job that refBoard Maker was going to do and they are integrated into the program. I'd say go check them out for a better solution (played with pureRef yesterday and it is more full featured than refBoard as well) Heyo! So started working on a little tool to grab all the… -

[Maya -> xNormal] Normal Map Baking Artifacts
Hey everyone, after desperately googling consecutively for 2 weeks I still can't seem to fix my baking errors within xNormal with various meshes I start off with modelling a LP, then do the UVs, duplicate the LP and add screws for details, combine the screws to the LP duplicate --> HP. I tried creating cages within xNormal… -

[3DSMAX] Baking Object Space NM with 3DSMAX and converting to Tangent with XNormal.
Converting an OSNM from 3DSMAX to Tangent in XNormal gives strange results. I tried inverting Green Channel and even Red Channel. I Swapped Green for Blue, Red for Blue, Green for Red, but nothing works. Can anyone bake an OSNM in 3dsmax and convert it successfully to Tangent space in XNormal? I really want to use 3dsmax…
