Artifacts, not sure where they're coming from.
Hey guys been working on a Halo: Reach DMR for a few weeks on and off http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1910155#post1910155, and when I first baked everything out it looked fine, until I started adding in some color, then I noticed some artifacting. I know I probably checked or didn't check some specific box,… -
Re: Artifacts, not sure where they're coming from.
I'm not doing anything to the normals via dDo (that I'm aware of). I just plug it into the the "normals" map slot. I add additional detail via NDo2, but I keep the original layer unchanged. I'll give tif files a shot, see what I get. Thanks for all your help so far, I really appreciate it. EDIT: Sorry, should have waited… -

I have overlapping UV's, but they're offset 1 space to avoid anything like that. It's all over the place though, and it's pretty uniform. As far as geo goes what should I be looking for, the bake is super clean in all aspects, and when I look at in photoshop I don't see any of these artifacts. It's a 4096x4096 texture,… -

the truth of this cannot be overstated -
Re: Artifacts, not sure where they're coming from.
Toolbag will load a 16bit PSD I believe, just resave your tif as PSD. Though the majority of game engines will not take a 16bit normal map, its just a really poor use of resources memory wise, so best not to stress too much about minor bit depth issues (again, that should go away when you actually texture the asset). Once… -

Alright, so the .tif appears to have worked. EQ, I don't believe so, to get those shot I just put in a TS Normal, CLR, AO, Cavity, and Wire into the automation hub, turned off the environmental preset, and used Standard Reflectance Max, then hit go. Possible stupid questions incoming: Alright, so I've rendered out my .tif,… -

This is most likely a matter of bit depth. Max dithers so you get some noise, maya tends to introduce stair stepping effects, I like what max does better generally. When you actually texture your asset you're unlikely to see either type. The last shot, you're 100% sure you dont have any detail layers affecting the height… -

Yeah, looks like some kind of texture compression to me. Whats the final destination for this object? Is it just a portfolio object that will be shown in marmoset or is it going into a game engine? Any subtle texture detail will cover this up. However, working with 16bpp normals should also help. -
Re: Artifacts, not sure where they're coming from.
What artifacts are you referring to? The light noise in the specular highlights? -
Re: Artifacts, not sure where they're coming from.
Alright, well it appears I've discovered a workaround, but it makes no sense to me. Originally I wanted to run this through dDo, but dDo, for whatever reason, is doing something that I'm not aware of or familiar enough with it to catch. I'm using the standalone Marmoset Toolbag from here on out, and I'll do the textures…
