Baking Normals Gone Wavy [SOLVED]
I'm currently having problems with baking in Toolbag 3. In the images below, I have a model which should have straight and uniform normals, based off the floating geometry in the high-poly model, however, the result of the baking process is wonky normals which definitely aren't straight. This model was brought into Toolbag… -
Re: Questions about xnormal cages, exploded bakes, and Maya
My general workflow with Maya is this: - Use Transfer Maps tool with good envelopes for my normal map bake.

Re: Halo 3/4 Assault Rifle [WIP]

Executing MEL scrpit to Bake Tutrle
Hey all, Recently making the transition from 3ds Max to Maya. So far so good, except how horrible my renders are coming out (normals). I've tried using Turtle but I don't think I can "bake" properly as I'm not using LT and the bake button isn't anywhere to be found, I've tried rendering by hitting the Clapperboard but I'm… -
