Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
My knowledge of normal map baking is still fairly limited, so it’s possible that I misunderstood some aspects. I’ll try to describe how I currently see it. First, here are some screenshots of the problem. LowPoly: Low Poly modifires: UV: (I have 2 udims as this model is part of the larger model of car with texel desniinity… -
Photoshop - PixelB Game Maps and PixelB Normal Tools - extensions for painting game textures
I want to share the Photoshop extensions I released recently. I realized while working on Overwatch that ever since Quixel Suite died off, there hasn’t been a good way to paint normals or generate normal/AO/cavity maps inside of Photoshop. Blizzard had their own tools for doing so but there hasn’t been a publicly available… -
[MAYA] Normal Map, Jagged Face/Hard Shadow in Vray
Hello, i have simple object, low poly sphere made in Maya (512 poly) and, high poly sphere with some datail from Zbrush .......i using "Transfer Maps" in Maya to bake "tanget nomral map" and, when i apply map on my low poly sphere i get some hard/edge shadow when i render in Vray. I try: - change in Bump Atributes on… -
Questions about baking normals in Maya, Xnormal, Marmoset workflow.
Hi, I'm learning to bake normal map for hard surface and very confused :( . I'm using Maya and my problem is when I soften hard edges, my normal will have perfect edges but shading errors on faces. When I harden edges I will get a nice shading but ugly edges except edges that have a UV seam. I only know two ways to solve… -
Re: xNormal = weird inverted looking normal maps?
When you export the lowpoly OBJ, are you including vertex normals in it? In Xnormal, when you add the lowpoly model, are you setting it to use Exported Normals? -
Re: Normal Maps: Can someone explain normals, tangents and split UVs?
Right, I was able to test this in xnormal and was able to see the tangents. So when you split your UV border edges you get two new verts but still retain a single vertex normal that is shared between those two verts? Or do you get two verts and two vertex normals, and the vertex normals just happen to have the exact same… -
Xnormal Normal Map Issue
Hey so I've recently got into using Xnormal to bake. I was using Maya's systems before. I got one or two good bakes but after that all my results haven't looked great and I can't figure out why. Here are some screenshots: Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
In Xnormal, when you're just using the ray distance, it uses the vertex normals of your lowpoly mesh, so you get gaps along your hard edges. In max, if you use the "offset" method, it does the same thing. So to me, when I say cage, I mean a proper averaged cage, not a simple ray distance. I don't mean a manually tweaked… -
Re: Normal Map Baking Problems (xNormal)
Here's a shot of the high poly, the low poly and both combined in 3ds max. I have tried several different timings for the ray distance calculator within xNormal from 5 sec to well over a minute with no change in results, its almost as if the normal baking is too harsh and strong if that makes sense? Im also concerned with… -
normal map with grid lines xnormal+3dmax
This is making me pull my hair out. for the love of god how do i get rid of the grid lines and the noise bumps that is plaguing all my maps from xnormal. no matter what i do they won't leave. http://i.imgur.com/GRi5pSj.png
