Baking Errors
Hey everyone, I just recently completed a tutorial for making game ready models. This meant that i would have to bake a normal map, while i follow the tutorial to the letter i still came upon some baking errors. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated! Ps. The image on the left side is that of the bake and… -
Re: Baking Errors
It looks like you have a lot of 'X' shaped smoothing errors. If you look close you can see this. These errors happen when you bake your normal map with your triangle orientation in one direction, and then display your model with the triangles going in other directions. To fix this, always remember to force your model to be… -
Re: Baking Errors
Okay so i finally finished the normal map and would like to ask how does it look to other people? I believe that most of the present error areas are able to be fixed in photoshop, but i could be mistaken about that any information regarding that would be very much appericated. -
Re: Baking Errors
Thanks for the quick reply! Ok so i did as you suggested and the normal looks perfect under the xNormal Tangent which is not the program i used to do the normals. I used 3ds max and tried the 3ds max tangent as well it still had the error is there something else that could be causing this or should i be ok? perhaps a… -
Re: Baking Errors
I have used tex tools to use the uv island for smoothing groups then went back and fixed a few minor smoothing group errors. Checking into the issue about the Eagle i was unable to find any inverted faces,vertices, or anything of the sort. The attached picture has a few areas circled in red, which leads to my last question… -
Re: Baking Errors
I believe textools http://www.renderhjs.net/textools/ has a script for setting uv islands to smoothing groups. It looks like you have some other errors here too, that green decal with the wings should not be green, make sure the highpoly source mesh does not have inverted faces. And another bit a little lower on the map… -
Re: Baking Errors
+1000 Yeah, I think if you simple triangulate your mesh before exporting you should fix these issues. The problem is that when quads are imported into Toolbag, Toolbag needs to decide which direction to triangulate in, and that may vary from your 3d app. With max you shouldn't need to triangulate before baking, but… -
Re: Baking Errors
After baking in XNormal, did you flip the green channel? If you did, don't. Also, don't bake separately: explode the mesh instead. Much more efficient when baking like that: for starters, you only ahve to click once. -
Re: Baking Errors
I tried a test run making normals on xNormals and didn't get good results :l. The objects uvs are part of a larger gun it just was hidden, the tutorial i was following told me to bake each object separately>.>. I believe I've packed the entire uv map fairly well ill post a picture tomorrow if anyone wants to check it, i… -
Re: Baking Errors
