Re: Best solution for baking low poly models passes like zdepth, mask, shadows etc?
I'm confused, I've never tried baking zdepth, masks and shadows on a lo poly model. I'm assuming you mean render not baking? -
Tutorial: Tileable Textures from Photoscan Bakes

Re: scar light mk-16 with grenade launcher and a bunch of goodies
Wow, this is looking really good man. I'm looking forward to the bake. Are you planning on using 3ds max's built in texture baker or an external one like xNormal? Also, when you wrote, "i've been getting an itchy boner for hard surface stuff", I literally laughed out loud. Good sense of humor lol. -
Re: Best normal map software?
Personal Experience: I have used xnormal for a long time. Works great, a bit slow at times. Knald baker is great too, way faster than xnormal and just as good. Modo 901 baking is good too. Great quality all the time. Thats what I use now. Maya terrible quality and extremely slow. -
Re: Maya FBX exporting won't bake blend shape animation

Step by step : select the mesh, then select the blendshape node in attribute column, edit>keys> bake simulation (option : check "selected" instead… -
Weird problem when baking normals near the edge of a flat surface
I'm learning how to make normal maps using maya and xnormal and everything seems fine, until it gets to the edge of a flat surface. I've been trying to find stuff about it online, but haven't been able to find any help. The problem is this. When it gets to the ends, the details seem to curve inwards. I understand that it… -
Baked monkey fur
Hi! I finished this guy, and I thought I could share the trick I used to make the texture in Blender. model The idea was to export the UV layout and setup a scene with an ortho camera facing a plane on which I generated and combed some hair to follow the flow of the UV layout. To give the texture more depth, I used the… -
Re: Substance Painter - Problem with Normal Maps in UV seams
In the image you posted with the substance painter baker options, there's a slider at the top called 'dilation width'. Same thing as padding! But yeah, issue could of been the UV's in conjunction with a bad bake/no padding. Also, you could try using your old normal map, but the UV's are completely different, and the… -
Re: Heavily Modified P90 "Savage Hunter"
Simple extrudes never really register with bakes - if you're seeing it head on and there's no beveled edges to help catch the light, you're not going to see it. Same goes for the normal map baker. I would think AO would work either way though (but it could depend on how you set it up) Edit: I am far too slow.
