Normal Map Compression
Hey guys :) I'm currently working on an environment in UE4 and while working on my master material i noticed that my normal maps quality have decreased a bit. I only use the R and G channel for the normal map,the blue is for any other grayscale texture. I'm using the DTX5 compression method and the normal map is set to… -
Normal map
Hi, I have one question about normal maps. This is a subject of many posts on forums and there is a lot of videos, tutorials and I learn a lot from all, but on one question I can't find answer. I understand basics of avarege normals and that for direction of rays bakers takes normals from low poly mesh. I know how to set… -
Normal Map Seam Problem (Maya, Mudbox, Crazybump, Unreal Engine 4)
Hello, I am having a problem with seams in my normal map that I am creating for a rock. I cannot hide the seams where I cut my UVs because I want the rock to be able to be turned any way for using in an environment. My Current workflow is -Model and UV rock in Maya. -Bring model into Mudbox, and paint the diffuse using a… -
Re: Normal map problems
Which steps are you following? I wouldn't bake it using zbrush, I'd have a lowpoly model and a highpoly model and bake using xnormal. The lowpoly should be unwrapped and your normal map looks kind of crazy probably because it doesn't look UV unwrapped. -
Re: World Machine OS normals?
thanks folks:P I've tried the xnormal converter with handplane and its not perfect, but it's better than the normal that comes out of world machine. It's not baked from a low poly mesh UV so its always a bit off:(.\\ Thanks -
Re: Low poly + normal = high poly?
I think xnormal or NDO2 comes with a photoshop filter for generating a height map from a normal map. it won't be correct and quality will definitely suffer but might start you on the road to recovery -

I am making a giant...worm...thing. With a freakish spine. Normal: http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g302/StarWhiteRaven/Misc/v1norm.jpg Wire:… -
Re: Which is the best for extracting normals?
Nothing gives better results, it all depends on the software and how well they're synched together for the tangent. And to be fair, ZB is the last place you should baking anything. It's slow, bends normals, and doesn't normalize them, meaning any harsh dents or bent details will actually bake out as almost black, which is… -
Re: normal map depth question
I think part of that is that there's not enough tangent data on the low to capture it (that normal is casting at a 45º angle, between the two faces, if it's got 1 smoothing group), but it could be the rear distance raycast setting. You can adjust that setting in xNormal. -
Re: Needing help with normal map issues :)
Thank you i will try this out. Also i was freezing the transformation so the location should not have mattered from what i read and watched about normal's, but i will try xnormals
