Re: Question about normals, UVs and smoothing groups
:O i see, Cry engine has its own baker too, and may be UDK and qualified normals form max? In the end we must learn to get good normal maps even if baker and renderer are not synced, some of those examples are for modeling packages and not game engines, so in most cases, baking 90 angle degree triangles with the same… -
Can't bake even 1 normal map.
Well, I'm out of ideas, my normal maps end up looking trashy all the time. I have this one gun for which I'm trying to bake normal map: Using details from higher detail version of the low poly mesh (not all the details are done yet because even these few, can't bake properly): But after baking in Blender 2.83.1 results… -
Global Illumination baking
Hello, This should be pretty obvious to quite a few of you but how do you bake global illumination to textures? I'm coming from VFX so some of the game workflows are alien to me.

3DCoat - baking Occlusion on first channel
I've used 3D Coat for a bit now, and it's great for getting quick materials on an object etc. I use it to bake ambient occlusion a lot - however, I'm stuck when my mesh has two channels for AO - it always wants to bake the AO on the second UV channel set, but I just need it for the first one to add detail to the texture.… -
