Baking Environment Info Into Diffuse Map
Hi, I know very early before about this technique, but I totally forgot how to do it~ >< Let's say I have a object and completely unwrapped~ And I set up a cube map~ What I want to do is to project the cube map color info into the diffuse map of the object to make a fake reflection info~ So~ Please teach me this~ I'm using… -
Can someone explain the mid-poly baking process?
Hi polycount! I've been struggling lately with baking something that's somewhat cylindrical. It has to be pretty low poly but I'm baking from a high with nice smooth curves. I keep hearing that this may be a good place to "bake to a mid poly" but I'm not sure I understand what that means. My interpretation was to have a… -
Re: overlapped polys : baking trouble?
To me it looks like those border edges are treated as hard by default, or the cage goes over the edge. Does it display some artifacts on the mesh itself? If that is a problem, I'd personally extrude one more loop from those for baking purposes only, and remove it once everything is baked properly. It's generally a bad idea… -
Re: Baking Objectspace Normals in Modo
Had the same question couple of weeks ago, I'm using 801 though but I guess it's not so different than indie version when it comes to the baking process..try this: You need to add a Shading Normal output and Bake from Object to Render Outputs. The Shading Normal output can be found under Render Outputs > Geometry - make… -
Baking textures from High Poly mesh to Low Poly mesh
Hi All, So when baking textures/maps, you always want to bake them from the high poly mesh to the low poly mesh correct? For the high poly mesh would it be advised that I make the high poly mesh in Maya, or make the high poly mesh in ZBrush? Then would I be able to bring the high poly and low poly meshes into Substance… -
Re: XNormal - Cage Breaking based upon SG
Show some examples of what you're having problems on, really its often adding in like 1 or 2 verts in most cases for the hard surface work I do, unless its a lot of repeating type shapes or something, then supporting loops work a bit better. I really try to think it all through from the high down to the low though, so that… -
Re: Normal baking problem
It depends on the mesh topology for the high. In certain cases, I could see smoothing groups interfering, but I didn't touch the smoothing groups on your high, so I can't say. I forgot to mention, I used Maya. But it shouldn't make a difference, I don't believe. Here's an updated FBX, after I exported:… -
Making specular, AO, bump, e.t.c. based on existing diffuse. How?
I've made photogrammetry of a head, and via some sculpting i made model of a head. Then i did retopology, and apply diffuse texture to a lowpoly model. In general i'm satisfied by result. (Later i'll correct some mistakes in Photoshop, and in Blender texture painting mode) Here is my preview of texture (real size 8k). I'm… -
How to bake properly Mirrored UVs ?
I'm currently scrathing my head over a little problem regarding the baking of a normal map for a specific mesh. I can't seem to figure out the proper way to setup my mesh to get a clean bake. My test case has mirrored UVs and I get a nasty seam along the UV border. This is a classic over Polycount as I passed along all the… -
Hi-poly AO bake in Maya.
Hi, I am trying to figure out and understant a full hipoly bake pipeline in Maya (Using Maya 2009 and the Transfer Map tool), I am okay with the normal map bake, the heightmap, but for the Ambiant Occlusion I can't get any good results. I have something that looks like working, but the bake keeps reaching other faces in…
