Normal map on a single object with multiple uvw unwraps
Hi all, I am using 3ds max to model a model but however I hit bit of a snag. I am modelling a low poly model with multiple UVW unwraps. The question is how will I create a normal map of the model with multiple UVW unwraps. Do I duplicate the model to create a high poly model to bake the normal map on the low or what. Kind… -
first normal map...ALMOST THERE! one last prob!!!
OK. i'm almost finished with my first normal mapped char. what an interesting way to do things. anyways, i have one last problem(let's hope). as you can see in the image, the legs in the foreground are normal/shade mapped(yay!!). but them when i go to appy another map(head and torso), the head and torso DISAPPEAR. anyone… -
Need some help with normal mapping. [maya]
But hey! So Ive made a highpoly gun/rifle that I wanna make a normal map from. Never done this before, so I was wondering; how? Do I UV map the highpoly first or do I even have to UV map the highpoly one at all? I really have no idea. :) The only thing I know is how I make the normal map. But not what I have to do before I… -
Random Maya Normal Baking Artifacts. Help!
So I've been modeling a dresser for a level I'm creating and I've made a hi-poly model to bake. Every time I try to bake the high onto the low, I keep getting these weird "normal glitches" appearing in my map. What can I do to fix this? I've softened normals and added a separate material to each model. Everywhere else is… -
[Max] mesh exploder for baking normal maps
Hello I started creating a mesh exploder for baking normal maps here is my progress so far feel free to let me know your ideas and feedback planned features - recognise lowpoly / hipoly mesh - name them, link them - explode mesh, hp follows lp - setup baking, projection, cage etc - bake normal map, apply to non exploded… -
[MaxScript] Average / Copy Seams' Vertex Normal
Hi everyone! This is a little tool I made to fix the seams between 2 objects by averaging or copying the normals from one another's borders. Quite useful when you split meshes, but need to have lighting consistency between them. You need to select the same number of edges/borders on both mesh before using the tool. The… -
need some advice on some normal mappin'
i'm about to normal map this canister thingy and i have a question. my main concern is the dome part on the top and how to go about properly unwrapping it. i've had weird issues w/dome shaped objects in the past and am wondering if anyone has any cool tricks. should i planar map from above? in the past i've tried that but… -
Xnormal, Lowpoly faces are visible on normalmap
See gifs below, My lowpoly faces are somehow baked onto the normal map when using Xnormal, and are showing up in Marmoset Toolbag 3. I was wondering if anybody knew how to fix this. When I use the "use average normals" setting when exporting in sbm or in xnormal itself the result is fine. (Which is not a problem in this… -
Zbrush map doesnt show enough detail - Normal Maps
I have been trying to solve this problem on my own , i still have no clue why this is happening. As you can see there is not enough amount of in the normal map. Skin textures are missing and blurry. I tried to bake+ normal map that doesnt work either... Do you guys know why this happens? Thanks -
Solution for normal mapping on a slow computer?
Hi there. I wanted to try to make a normal map so I made a high-res model of a man in zbrush3. When I wanted to import it to 3dmax, I realized that my computer is too slow to handle the model in max (about 350000 polys). I can split the body in parts, head, arms, torso and render them one by one but it will make big seams,…
