UV/Normal Map High-Low poly assistance
Hi all first post, I am trying to get the detail from a high poly model to a lower poly model. The high poly has been decimated from the highest sub division in Zbrush. The lowest has been topo'd in max and then used as a base for the final sculpt. I am now trying to get the detail from the high poly onto the low poly… -
Re: Exporting Hard Surface/Organic Normals out of Zbrush?
(Are your normals inverted on the greenchannel and also lacking in padding?) Personally, I'd take the extra few minutes to export the models and bake in xnormal (it shouldn't even take long, if you only decimate what needs to be decimated). Otherwise I don't think zbrush is going to give you a good result if it's tangent… -
Normal Map Baking For A Face?
Everytime I try it looks like a horrible mess, I have 0 idea how to bake a normal for a face. Any help would be appreciated, I have Maya, and Xnormal atm. -
bump to normal map converters
Any bump to normal map converted that may run on a mac? Maybe some Photoshop plugin. xNormal does not and I didn' t find any alternative so far, this is killing me. -

Re: [HELP!] Normal Map showing hairline cracks
Ah Wiki, thank you for the reply. However I just realised the image I attached got compressed and the arrows I drew made it look like I was pointing at the seams of the UV. My issue is that I'm getting these crazy hairline cracks all over the normal map texture (see middle image attached), where there shouldn't be cracks,… -
Re: Normal map seams in World Space?
Thanks Earthquake, I was wondering how that was generated. I've been doing a ton of tests to try and figure out exactly what's going on and I'm inching closer. I'm not convinced the inverted UVs were causing the issues entirely. I've found that I've gotten the best exports when toggling off Normals under the Geometry… -
Re: My first Normal Mapped Weapon!
If you have mirrored UVs, then the normal map on faces that have flipped UVs will look inverted in Maya, though game engines usually take care of that, but Maya just can't without some tricks, as far as I know. Also, if you're using floating geometry for additional details, check the normals on them - if they are facing… -
Re: Normal troubles
I unlocked the normals, smoothed the normals in maya then rebaked with the new mesh in xnormal. However, I've gotten the same result. Someone told me to flip the green channel, though that didn't do anything when I did it in Marmoset. -
angle weighted normals in maya 2013 (max vertex normals in Maya?)
It seems to me that Maya 2013 added the angle weighted normals like max uses. Not sure if I'm right but for my tests the assets baked in Max with the vertex normals exported from FBX look ok in Maya2013 if you setup on attribute editor and set it to be "angle weighted normals". I don't have a really good test mesh here, I…
