Thanks for making this; anyone looking into baking is very lucky to have such a concise and understandable resource available. I do have one question: Is 'handedness' a new term you've come up with? I haven't run into it before at least. There are already many terms for this (which you name in the article) such as swizzle,…
Looks good shouldn't have any worries, all the shapes/silhouette are quite nicely readable so imo this HP should bake down without many issues...if any.
I have this low poly truck I had to do , but for some reason the baked textures on the door are coming out brighter than the rest of the truck and I cannot figure out why. I am using nothing but default lighting when I bake and I am only baking the normals and diffuse channels. This is done using Max 9. Any ideas as to why…
Hey guys, I decided to give the High to Low poly modelling workflow a try with this model, a Walther PPK. I've made my high and low models but I'm having real difficulties getting my RTT to work properly. I've also explored into using Xnormal as well, as an alternative to 3Ds Max's RTT but I'm finding sometimes I get a…

I'm planning to make a small diorama and render it in tb2 with the bike parked on the road and a little dressing around. I want to add a few more…
Hey Guys, im having issues with bake results. As you can see the 4 triangle buttons bake very fade and do not show the buttons very well. Inside of max its the exact same size circle as every other button and I cannot figure out why
"Im just confused to how this fits into a current 3D game modelling pipeline if at all" That's probably the most important part to clear up isn't it ? Let's assume that the end goal is an in-game asset indeed. Well, there are many ways to get there, the main two for detailled and realistically shaded games being : A : a…
Kyle, you're a life saver! This is exactly the type of answer I was looking for and the way you explained it all makes absolute sense. You just answered every question I had about creating an external cage for aid in baking cleaner maps. Simple and efficient, I'm going to stick to your method that's for sure! And thanks to…
