Re: Displacement and normal Map bakes issues
I used to have a tonne of bacon issues too and I spent a week digging through forums for answers, so here's my amateur opinion. All my issues were solved by using a cage. This is my work flow for making it. Make retopology mesh in you preferred method - I use topogun. I then export the lowpoly mesh to blender and UV map… -
Re: Camera projection bake to UV's creates seams
Not yet. So far I only tried Convert to File texture and mental ray Batch bake. But will batch bake it will also bake lights and that's not what I want. Is transfer maps possible with a projection through a camera? Also not sure it will work since it's quite High poly. Bake will probably take ages in Maya. I could try… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hello ! No problem. Models from high profile games from this era (PS3/360) are IMHO excellent examples of what can be done with a reasonnable budget. Not only in terms of raw numbers (tris # and texture sizes) but also because they're good reality checks on what matters and where to cleverly cut corners, in turn giving you… -
Re: Baking AO in Maya 2012 using transfer maps.
Yeah its pretty messed up that maya still doesn't have proper ao baking with transfer maps. When I looked into this I was told that the workflow is to uv your high, bake the ao from the high onto its uvs, and then transfer it along with your normal map as a diffuse map with transfer maps.... Yeah, like that is something I… -
Re: Baking Normals Topic: Cages. Are they old news?
From my tests in modo baking with a cage generally produces the best results, though they are barely perceivable over a regular averaged vert bake, which is generally faster. With the new baking toolkit in modo, though, a cage (push modifier) is a 30 sec process that I tend to do anyway... edit: I've been meaning to try… -
Re: How to avoid this when baking normal maps?
It's typical ray distance issue. Make it smaller but it could create artifacts in other areas where low poly deviates from hi poly too much. Workarounds : 1.doing and tweaking manually a cage to make it's own ray distance for evry specific vertex/place. 2. using marmoset which bakes in real time and you could paint your… -
Substance Painter Texture Baking Projection Stains
Hi! I'm super new to Substance Painter and baking and pretty much 3D Modelling in general. Yesterday it took me a whole day trying to figure out how to bake from high poly to low model. I finally figured that out but am getting these annoying stains on my mesh after baking. I'm calling them projection stains but not really… -
Ambient Occlusion Baking Problem In Substance Painter - NEED HELP
Hi, I've been trying to bake out AO in Substance and it gives me good results except for one part, which totally doesn't make sense. That black line shouldn't be there. There's no UV overlapping, I tried changing every value and options before baking, tried baking with cage, different distances etc. nothing helped. Normals… -
Question of Baked lighting and games with day / night cycles.
Hello. I was wondering if you guys could answer a question I have with the matter of using baked lighting along with a day / night cycle and how it is usually done in games today and in the past. More specifically, I'm confused on the two concepts seeming to contradict each other. Baking lighting and shadows are supposed… -
Thickness baking issue
I'm baking a thickness map and getting weird squares across much of the resulting texture, though my main concern is the windscreen in the bottom left corner. I've checked normals to make sure they're not facing inward on either the high or low poly, and in any case those squares are much smaller than the actual polygonal…
