Re: Question about baking with triangulation
If you're using Maya or Max but baking in xnormal, you should triangulate before you bake, as XN may(likely will) triangulate differently than your 3d app. If you're baking in Maya, and exporting to a different app, like Marmoset Toolbag, you want to lock normals and triangulate after you bake. Its important to lock… -
Re: Cavity map in 3ds max
That doesn't look right to me, it looks like you rendered a diffuse map with a normal map applied and lights and shadows ticked on? Typically cavity maps don't have a direction to the lighting, it's just a pits and peaks kind of thing. The cavity map baker in 3dsmax only works with the target geometry (typically a low poly… -
Substance painter generates artefacts when baking AO map
Hi guys) Could anyone explain-what causes these damn artefacts when baking AO map in SP?They are appearing where the seams are located.I changed dialation width a few times but it did not help. What adjustments do I have to do in substance painter? -
Re: Problems with baking
I don't know about 3DS Max baking quirks but in general this looks like some sort of perspective distortion is introduced into your baking. Since a planar bake should by itself not introduce perspective distortion a few stabs in the dark: Does the plane which you bake from have a smoothgroup assigned to it or have its… -
Re: Baking normals with artifacts in Blender
These baking artifacts are caused by the convergence of a number of separate but related issues. Material artifacts: The material on the high poly model is generating additional surface information that's causing normal baking artifacts. Removing the material from the high poly model resolves this issue. The material on… -
Re: My First Texturing - Please Critique
@TROGLODYTE 2) Use floating geo. You can intersect uncombined meshes into each other and export it out as one, yes. Professional game artists do it all the time. It just needs to LOOK correct, not functionally be correct. Bake based on groups in Marmoset Toolbag. 3) We handle high poly geo usually via a sculpting program… -
Re: organic rock UV seams
I'm not going to create a rock just to unwrap it and I don't have any examples sitting in front of me, if you wanted to post the mesh I could show you how I would stitch the pieces together to reduce the seams. But really it shouldn't matter how many seams you have when it comes to seam errors. even with a lot more seams… -
Normal baking and edge distortion
I'm trying to bake out my maps in Substance Painter, and cannot solve an issue I'm having with the edges in certain areas being warped/bent. Some areas, such as the buckle, are perfectly fine. Other areas, such as the edges of the belt and corners of the top and bottom, are warped. I used to run into this problem when the… -
Re: The end of xNormal? (nope)
this made me curious, i dusted off the painter install to give it a try as a baker. had it since they sold it for 50 or thereabouts but am basically a total noob. bear with me (not in the revenant-way). - it does not seem to write the baked maps to disk directly? you have to wait for all the bakes to finish then export… -
Normal Maps - Marmoset/Substance Painter vs Unreal
Greetings fellas, I decided to give the marmoset baker a try for the first time (pretty good so far), but ive come across an issue thats confusing me a bit at the moment. I read some Marmoset/Substance documentation and forum posts trying to figure it out, but couldnt quite come up with a definitive answer. Maybe im…
