avoiding normal issues in UE3?
Hey all, I know there have been countless questions about normals and UE3 but I thought I'd get some insight on my particular issue as I simply can't wrap my head around it. I realize that UE3 can't handle mirrored normals well, but the larger issue is the normals on my separate uv islands. Here's what I'm getting: the one… -
Re: Unity > android. Different normal calculations?
I don't recall messing with the normal maps, other than merging multiple bakes. So unless the bakes aren't normalized (I thought we only had to do this whenoverlaying multiple normal maps), I dont think it would change much, Will try normalizing them though, see what that does. Cheers. edit- Just tried, normalizing my… -
Landscape normal maps not showing?
Hey guys, I'm attempting to use normal maps with my terrain.

Re: Maya average normals averaged unintentionally

Re: Normal/Displacement Mapping Issues
In Maya 8, you don't need Transfer Surface Info, as normal map baking utilities are loaded by default and are found now under Lighting/Shading > Transfer Maps. Just look for Transfer Maps in help to get more info on baking normal maps, ambient occlusion, color, displacement etc, from high to low poly model. But if you… -
nDO2 normal map Red channel Confuuusion!

Sometimes its really hard to interpret normal map but I hope you will be able to know what I mean: So here is normal. Only part I created with nDo is this indent.This is normal map with CORRECTED NORMAL MAP! With the… -
Re: Maya - Normal maps triangle errors
Anyone have any other ideas? I'm getting quite desperate. Update: There has been something strange happening with the envelope in transfer maps. With all other models, the transfer maps envelope behaves correctly and scales up and down when the 'search envelope %' slider is moved, but when used with this particular… -

Hey Polycount, I'm having a problem with getting my normals to look right once I export them into maya, the problem is that my model in maya seems to be keeping both the default maya normals as well as my normal map normals :poly127: Here is a screenshot so you know what I'm talking about: (It renders exactly the same…
