Re: Clean bakes
BTW Andumy - it would be great if your example pictures were uploaded (photobucket, imageshack) instead of dropboxed ; that way, if other artists run into the same issue in the future and find this thread, they'll be able to look at your examples an how we collectively fixed them. (This of course assumes that we will… -
Re: Clean bakes
This is what I was referring to eariler. If you use the obj sapce > Handplane workflow, these normals dont matter. Handplane does not use them, that is why you can feed a mesh with garbage tangents, one smoothing group but model has hard edges, and it will fix these errors in the output tangent space normal. If you look at… -
Re: Clean bakes
even though it has been pointed out in a way earlier, what really helped me improve my baking quality is three simple things: 1. smoothing split needs uv split 2. hard edges where ever possible 3. uv mapping, uv mapping, uv mapping part 3 takes a bit of practice and the process itself takes a bit of time, but imho its… -
Re: Clean bakes
it is strange that the vertex normals are not showing up. They might be set to very small ... or maybe they are actually reversed somehow ? @ Alec : "no hard edges without a UV split AND UV padding" is totally true ; however : "Without going into a lot of detail, the easiest way to set up smoothing is to only harden edges… -
Re: Clean bakes
This is a weird poll... I only say that because this has been covered alot in PnP and Gen Discussion on polycount. Here's an example of what I mean. Lots of the questions I see can be answered using the other boards/polycount wiki as a reference point :D 9/10 I find you will get a better baking method using a couple… -
Re: Clean bakes
Big thread bump. Several months of messing with this issue only to find it is somewhere between a non-issue and unfixable. Basically, source engine tangent space doesn't split tangents across any sharp angle threshold (talking tangents, not normals). As a result, it is possible for the mesh's tangent to face the opposite…
