Flipped Uvs for no reason or...
Hello, Im having this issue in substance painter where, after importing and painting normaly with no problems and no flipped normals, with substance painter (2018.1.1 version), I encountered this when I decided to try this Metal edge wear generator. I was able to paint and apply materials normaly: This is an example of… -
Re: Xnormal Cage Error
My workflow is to have "Triangulate" and "Edge Split" modifiers on the stack of the original quad version of my mesh with a name LP_Quads. If you're using the "Edge Split" modifier, remember only to mark sharp edges to your mesh manually, not by using the "Edge Angle" option, and NEVER apply this modifier in any case,… -
Re: Fallout 76 Inspired Interior Hero Asset (Dev)
Hi! To sacboi's point, you might want to tighten up the mesh shading of the environment using hard edges. Since it's textured using a trim atlas which was baked to a flat plane, the normal map is not compensating for any gradients in mesh shading. I would note that the of the shading of the hero asset in Unreal appears to… -
Re: SOLVED: Weird mirroring effect
Maybe this can help someone else. I baked the normals in xnormal. High and low poly Zbrush models with the same UV map (low and high sub div levels) . Match UV´s must be set in xnormal on low oly mesh or the Normal maps will have errors. -
Re: Textuing/ making AO with Xnormal for base.
bake high poly stuff to a plane to base your textures. or use ndo2 start with the normals and use the normals to AO function in ndo2 -
Re: Need clarification: Tangents and Binormals, Tangent Space, Tangent Space per Fragment.....
The "tangent" is vertex data. The "tangent space" is the basis formed by the normal, tangent, and bitangent vectors in which the normal map can pretend to always be pointing towards +Z. MikkTSpace is an algorithm that calculates a pretty good, standardized tangent space basis in a particular way, completely independent of… -

Re: Xnormal cage
ya doing cages in XN just take too much time, and it's not as versatile, since if your just doing a push in the directions of the vertex normals, Xn will sometimes do things you dont want. where in maya you dont need to open yet a other viewport, can quickly translate things out on the normals, than do any tweaks later… -
Xnormal - reversed face on unified mesh?
Hello, guys. First post here but read many. Currently I am making an arc and when it's time to create the normals for it Xnormals keeps on giving me backface hits even though all normals are as they should. I tried substance as well but things are much better either. First is Xnormal second is Substance designer bake -
Xnormal error (GOING CRAZY!)
Hi there! Ok so I am new to normal mapping, I created a low poly mesh in Maya and exported it to Sculptris for ...well...sculpting. I attempted to generate a normal map via xnormal but keep getting this error message... "Invalid function parameter 'msh': The mesh default has a UV pointing to a non existent vertex." What…
