Re: Need Help on Normal Mapping and Marmoset Toolbag.
Looks like your lowpoly mesh normals are not set up correctly. Make sure to soften the normals (maya) or work on your smoothing groups (max). Make sure if you're exporting from max that you have normals (not just smoothing groups) turned on in the obj exporter. -
Re: How do you make a road normal map?
Use NDO, Knald, or CrazyBump like others suggested and either smooth the normals in whatever software you pick, or smooth it beforehand. Asphalt is pretty noisy and converting any regular photo to a normal map will be a nightmare. Something like "Surface Blur" in Photoshop works pretty well. -
Re: rendering issue
If its one continuous mesh, you've got some definate edge-flow that needs to be fixed where the ear connects, and sort out the smoothing groups. Try givin the outer surface of the ear its own smoothing group, the rest of the ear a second one, and the head a third. -
Normal map makes triangles... 3Ds Max
Hi I tried to baked normal map. I used "Reset XForm" on high poly and low poly models. Both UVs was correctly so I tried to bake normal. I have this result. My models are editable poly. I tried to bake normal after used "hard smoothing" and "3D smoothing" but nothing changed. -
Invert roughness before export?

Re: WIP - MK18
Your HP seems ok, the problem comes from smoothing groups on your LP. Theres a thread on this forum somewhere that details how to properly set up your smoothing groups according to your UVs. Can you post some wireframes for the LP? What are you using for baking? -
Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
I started looking in to making a bunch of glass containers. With all the references I gathered and looking at the scene, I feel like there's going to be a lot of different bottles, jars, vials, etc. The more variation the better; different silhouettes, sizes and such will help make the scene feel busy. But I really didn't… -
Prebroken destructible cylinder
Im creating a cylinder which will be prebroken and destructible. Now theres a problem that has risen to my mind. How can i keep the smooth normals of the cylinder? If i break the surface in to seperate chunks, the normals will not make the object perfectly round. There has to be a solution to this, since I've seen… -
joints that act like clusters (maya)
Im trying to figure out the best way to create a rig which i can smooth bind to a model, but will alow me to scale The vertices associated with each joint independantly of the hierarchy. What id like is to ave a similar method of control that clusters would give me, but with smooth bound joints since this needs to be… -
Re: Trouble Baking Maps
Don't be afraid of adding more Geo to the collar area, especially with character art! Also those black lines could be because of your unwrapping and smoothing groups so make sure if you have a smoothing group split that you also have a Uv shell split! EDIT: Spelling
