Re: Normal map compression and channel packing
I found this while looking for something else, while you might have solved this already I'd like to contribute: If you're channel packing your normal map, make sure that texture is stored as linear and that after sampling and before deriving the Blue channel, bring that from 0 to 1 range to -1 to 1. That means, append… -
Normalize your textures!
I made a couple SBSAR procedural filters for normalizing textures, since I couldn't find reliable tools for this. Maybe they can help you! Normal maps should always be normalized before final delivery, to make sure the vectors are mathematically correct for optimal shading. It's easy to edit textures in tools like… -
Normal Maps and the CryENGINE
[I've posted this on the Crydev site, but I'm pretty desperate to figure this out as it's really starting to hold up my environment now.] After watching the free video from Simon Fuchs on Eat3D, I've been baking normal maps using xNormal with the X+ Y- Z+ settings. But these normal maps actually appear incorrect in the… -
A challenging problem with normals
Hey everyone. I've been trying to solve this issue for about ~20 hours now and it's come to the point where I think it's quite nearly impossible to fix. The problem is my normal map seams. Basically I have sculpted my creature in Zbrush, exported it for 3D-coat, retoped and unwrapped it there. After went to 3DS-Max to… -
[xNormal] [Solved] Issues with Exported vs Average normals (xnormal bug)
Hiya! Long time stalker, trying to be less 'forum shy'. I'm having some issues on a personal piece that's long time coming and I finally think I'm really close to calling it done and sharing it. However being a personal piece and an experiment on polishing my workflow I'm being overly nitpicky on the process. For the most… -

Xnormal problem High Poly Projects inside Low Poly UVs on normal Maps
Hello. am quite new to the 3d world, and sorry for the kinda newbie question. am following a tutorial which I created a low poly Pillar in maya, a high poly in Zbrush, and an external Cage of the low poly in Maya, when I put them all together in Xnormal. I receive something like this, It looks like the high polly some how… -
Re: Normal Map Distortion: Zbrush Generating bad normal map
Okay, so i did every tip i have been given and i am still getting problems. - Took my lowpoly Model into Max, Redid UV'S + Smoothing Groups. - Exported From Max Directly into XNormals with Texture Cords, Normals and UV's - Baked in XNormals - no cage, no ray calculations (they shouldn't be necessary), My smooth is set to… -
Xnormal normal bake errors
it seems like the bake is catching the other side of the mesh... any ways to solve this without photoshoping them out? thanks! -
Re: Baking normals in Blender to Cryengine
Actually, I'm having some serious trouble finding the CryTB.dll plugin anywhere on the internet. I can only really find documentation that says that it was publically available in the past, and it's marked "Obsolete." Here: http://docs.cryengine.com/display/SDKDOC3/Normal+map+baking+with+xNormal It looks like they have…
