Tiling textures and unique normal maps
I am new to environment art and just had an idea for reusing tiling textures for furniture and other environment pieces. Why not generate a unique normal map for the piece of furniture or environment piece, with bevels and chamfers and custom sculpted detail. Then blend the tiling normal map on top of it for detail. This… -
Multiple UV normal blending
My aim is to use a multi-UV workflow to blend between the normals of unique sculpted bake of large assets which would be in one UV channel and a tiling texture in the other while blending them together. What is the best technique to achieve this -
Blending Normal maps in 3dsmax material editor
I came across this technique here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131819 While the installer works fine for normal maps in PS. Is there a way to get it accurately using the material editor nodes in 3dsmax? I currently use the overlay method in the material editor using the composite map to layer the normal… -

Noise grain in my Max Normal Bake
It's been a while since I baked a normal map in Max, so I'm not sure what's going on here. I'm baking just a normal map from a highpoly and my output file looks like it has a noise filter applied. Anyone know how to get rid of that? It also shows up in my diffuse base. I'm only going off of memory for the settings in… -
Re: normal map in UDK question
I think the problem could be laying within your normal map itself, and not the engine. If there is a 90 degree angle on any portion of your high poly, trying to put that information into your normal map is not going to transfer. Try beveling the edges on your high poly where that part of the cabinet you want detail to pop… -

Re: Using a normal map for beveled edges along with tiling textures for bigger assets?
If you take a look at the example in the link, you can see that there are shader ways of doing this. Vertex normals and/or normal of the trim texture can be used to know about edges. Not sure if you have seen this one yet: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1022324/The-Ultimate-Trim-Texturing-Techniques You could also do… -
Re: [HELP] Baking normal maps
I still have the same problem with the seams but now I have a new one. When I bake the normal map as a TGA I get a very noisy normal map, like this: When I bake in PNG, TIFF, BMP or JPEG I get this kind of scattered normal map: I have tried a lot of different settings and none of them seems to do much difference...two…
