Some engine use Roughness (Unreal, Blender) others Smoothness (Unity). It should be written in the documentation of the engine, but is also apparent from the parameter name. Roughness is the opposite of Smoothness. So with Unity using Smoothness, it's to be expected that the result you get is different/inverted Smoothness…
This is a watch for the character I'm currently working on Smooth shaded Weighted normals Wireframe of tris. Had to add this bevel because my lowpoly couldn't catch the bevels in that area even after I manually adjusted the cage in blender UVs Normal map(smooth shaded)
I'm not seeing problems with your ZIP. This is rendered with V-Ray viewport IPR. I did have to add a Smooth modifier and set it to Smoothing Group 1, just to get nice smooth normals. TurboSmooth is set to 3 iterations. This is in 3ds Max 2024.2.1, with V-Ray 6.20.02. WIndows 11 Home, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, 64GB RAM.…
I just baked a segment with edges given the 'harden edge' option in maya and the normal map came out much better, im slightly confused however but after watching some videos if I understand correctly I should smooth all the edges except the hard ones? I was under the impression you wanted to smooth the entire mesh.
Smoothing groups effect normals but not topo right, so the porpose of using trubo smooth and smoothing groups are to make bakes for low poly? Im thinking about using them in my low poly but would using them be practical in game aplication?
Looks like a smoothing problem on the mesh. Have you tried applying a smooth modifier or clearing the smoothing groups in editable poly? Or it could also be a uvw map problem. Apply an unwrap modifier and check the seems for texture padding issue.
It's the smoothing groups. If you scroll down in the edit poly modifier controls on the right, you'll find a section for smoothing groups, with a series of numbers. Select the polys you want to be smooth, and set them to a smoothing group. The polygons that are set to a smoothing group will be smooth in relation to each…
