Normal map creation question
Hello! I have just a small question regarding normal maps. I was reading somewhere, that when you create normal map in 3ds max, (render to texture or something), there is an optiom called "Hit only matching material ID". So , for example, you have big box, and on top of it, you have small box. You give one material, say,… -
3dsmax noise in normal maps
Hello, I've been messing about with 3dsmax and baking normal maps, but they always seem to have too much noise on them, and it becomes really noticeable when trying to make a glossy object (like chromed metal). When i save in .tga or .tif, there is an almost unacceptable amount of noise, but if i save in .dds there is no… -
Exported Normal maps causing dark areas in 3ds max
Hey guys, I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered this problem when exporting normal maps from quixel to models in 3ds max. This is the second time this has happened for me. I have this model I have scanned in using photogrammetry. I have extracted a low res mesh and normal map from the original model and loaded the… -
Weird seams shows when baking normal map in Marmoset
Hey guys, I just found that there're slightly visible seams in my normal map(baked in Marmoset) at the edge of UV. I thought it could be the stretching of UV map so I tried fixing it and using the same resolution for all the UV shells. It didn't work at all..... Here's the screenshot of my Normal map applied to the low… -
Re: Weird experience with normal mapping
Do you mean those small greyish lines? It could just be a viewport shader bug or an incorrect setting, requiring you to flip a channel or two. If not, uv seams where the mapping is mirrored/overlapped could be an issue. You could fix that by copying a few pixels near the seam of the normal map and pasting them just outside… -
Re: Normal map error in UE4 vs Toolbag 3
I find for better and more consistent results you should have "tangents and binormals" turned on in the FBX export settings. Then in unreal you should set the normals to "import". Otherwise you can get mismatches between the normals your baker is using and the normals unreal creates. -
Re: Is it possible to bake normal maps into diffuse maps?
Overlaying green channel of a tangent space normal map doesn't make any sense, tangent space normal content depends on lowpoly mesh normals, uv direction, etc. So you're going to bake in smoothing errors and seams if you do that. Like MM says, if you want to pull content out of a NM, it should be object space, as object… -
First High Poly and Normal Map attempt
Hey everyone, This is my first post of any of my work. I'm currently in my 4th quarter at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh for game art and design. Outside of class I am involved in one of the professor's game design project, called Cinder. Cinder is a full conversion mod for Unreal Tournament 3. The first task i was… -
Efficiency for super high poly normal mapping...
So I was wondering, with many of you who do those extremely high detail ZBrush or Mudbox models, then use those for normal mapping, what practices do you use to make things quicker; -When you are sculpting in either Zbrush or Mudbox, what makes the program run more smoothly? -Then when generating the normal map what do you… -
Baking Normal maps in maya using floating geometry
I'm having a little bit of a problem baking normal maps in maya using floating geometry to create my high poly model. It seems maya either doesn't like floating geometry much or I'm doing something wrong. I set the serach envelope to search inside and outside the envelope. I've tried tangent and object space. Neither work…
