How to create text that will show up in a normal map [Maya]
I understand how to use Maya's text tool, but when I create the text I find it difficult to create the taper needed for it to bake into a normal map. Does anybody know of an easy way to create text that will work well for baking without having to hand tweak every letter? -
Substance Painter normal map baking
Hello, i've encountered this problem while baking high poly to low poly in substance painter. I've modeled these in blender. These weird lines are made anywhere the edge is marked as sharp.

How can I set radial vertex normals in Speed Tree?
On a cypress style of a tree with all the brunches growing up mostly I need a kind of cylindrical normals style and up and down in very top and bottom . Can Speed tree do it at all?

Re: Gulp... Mirrored Normal Seam
How are you baking this? If you are simply deleting half of the mesh > bake > apply symmetry, than the vertex normals are probably not aligned the same as when you had half of the mesh. Check Attachment. What you could do to minimize the effect is to delete, not the exact half, but grow the selection an additional… -
Normal Guy Next Gen

UV texture size affects the normal map?
Hey guys, I put an entire UV unwrap in 1 map of a dinosaur (1024 x 1024) . I was thinking of putting the unwrap in 2 seperate maps where 1 map would be the entire head, and its horns and the other map with just the body, and legs. While doing zbrush, I was wondering if the Normal would be better distributed in 2 maps than… -
Normal Map File Not Updating - Toolbag 3.04
Hello. I'm having an issue where my normal map file isn't updating when I make cage adjustments with Max Offset and Paint Offset.
