Re: A skyrim sword
If you want to export the normals for the object there are a few ways to do it. My personal preference is to export the High and Low poly meshes, bring them into Xnormal and generate the normals using that program (its free). All you have to do is specify the high poly and low poly meshes in xnormal then go to the baking… -
Zbrush normal map projection question
Hey, I was just wondering how exactly the way ZBrush transfers high res detail to the low poly mesh differs from something like xnormal's hig/low projection. Is Zbrush's more similar to 3DCoat's, direct to texture in the Paint Room? I couldn't find anything about this online, if you know where I can read some more about it… -
Unreal3 Normal Map compression fix
Hey guys, I think using good settings for import NM (.tga) in UEngine: When NM texture imported, results are pretty nice, but once the package saved and UEngine restarted, the quality is decreasing a lot! (even in 2048*2048) I know that quality decrease a lot with NM compression but in the UE3 Game packages, many NM… -
Re: Why is xNormal baking my mesh backwards
I used to complain about muddy details when baking a high from zbrush; it turns out that, in xnormal, changing the high mesh's smooth normals settings from "Use imported normals" to "harden normals" makes everything a lot sharper. This only works for really high poly meshes from zbrush, but it'll crispen the details, and I… -
Please help: Faceting in my normal map?
Hello Polycount. I'm not sure what is going on. I tried baking this in zbrush and Softimage. But it is always showing faceting in the same spot on the model. Any suggestions? Selecting Binormals appears to lessen the problem but the model quality overall looks worse then using a Tangent Op. I'm not even sure if that is the… -

Face-Weighted Vertex Normals- Vid tut for beginners
I thought I'd link this here for posterity. It's a basic summary of the FWVN thread on here by @Obscura (referenced in the vid) for those who wilt at walls of text..... :) It's demoed in Max/UE but the principles are universal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kizs6RIa1dQ -

Re: Shotgun critique
Are you baking in max or xNormal? It looks like some of those colors are from edge padding. I've never baked in max but I think xNormal defaults to 8px of padding? What that means is that when the camera is further from te object, some engines will auto-downsize the maps. The padding just ensures that the normal map stays…
