Normals from geometry+map simultaneously
A useful advantage of 3ds baking, is that you can bake normals out of both the geometry and bump map of your high poly mesh in one go. Does anyone know if that's possible in xNormal, in any way? I've also tried compositing the 3ds and xN bakes in PS, but the artifacts present in the first one won't allow me to achieve a… -
Why do my normals look bad in CE3? No smooth transition.
When I baked a normal map in xnormal I gave it enough padding,, and it looks good in maya but I cant get it right in CE3. -
Strange normal map artifacts
I'm trying to bake a normal map for a house I just modelled. I've done the usual - matched the lp close to the hp, uv mapped, smoothing groups by uv islands etc. I can't for the life of me figure out why I'm getting artifacts such as the one below. Does anyone know what might cause this? Note: it's a flat surface. Same… -
newb normal query-wavyness
hey yall, been lurking loads decided to try out normal mapping. using render to texture / xNormal, ive got the same result of wavyness/distortions (see the screw heads and edge lines). ive got the hipoly layered up but im not sure if its the scan distance thats doing this. Or maybe the bad mesh? any tips would be great as… -
Re: Normal map seams question
Substance Painter uses -Y swizzle on its normal maps, you can change that in the xNormal settings, or invert the green channel using Photoshop. If you want to properly view a normal map with a -Y swizzle in Maya, go to your mesh's shape node in the Attribute Editor, find the Tangent Space section, and choose Left Handed. -
Maya to 3dsmax , OBJ export options. Normals doesn't look fine unless i apply the "Edit normals".
Hello So basically iam a maya user and my client needs the output in 3dsmax scene file with some materials applied and also the smoothing groups. So i applied the Soften/Harden edges in maya and exported the file in format OBJ to 3dsmax. But in max unless i apply the modifier "Edit Normals" the normals aren't looking fine.… -
Crazy Maya Normal Map Issue
Hey guys, I'm working on my first huge baking project right now. Not only is this the first time I've done Normal maps, but it was also the first time I've used Zbrush so I've had an extremely stressful past 2 weeks (deadlines >_< ). Basically I am baking an entire character for a game we're making for our senior Game… -
Normal Map Artifacts (Xnormal)
Hey everyone, I just baked a model in Xnormal and I am getting some subtle artificats on some parts of my model. Does anyone know what's causing this? -
Normals and normal map issues
Heyo, I recently got UE4 and I've been putting in my models that I have been working on for a while just to see whether my workflow applies to the UE4 one. It does not seem that way, as I'm getting severe normal issues from my model. Here's the model before exported with the 2013 FBX exporter from Maya 2014: And this is… -
Seam issue with normal map
Hey guys, I've hit a wall with a seam issue, and I could really use some help to find a solution. I have modeled and uv half a gun, and hoped to just mirror the other side, but I get a terrible seam all around my uv boarders. I have used the dilation filter, and that has made no difference. Any ideas? I have modeled in…
