XNormal - Normal Map Comes Out Blank
Pictures of the issue: http://imgur.com/a/aCyN0 Tutorial I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBhbKnjwcr8 I'm new to xNormal, anyone know what I did wrong? -
Re: XNormal - Normal Map Comes Out Blank
The tip triangle on the underside of the boot is missing or infinitely small (in the UV's). Not sure if thats causing your issues but worth fixing anyway. Some general comments on good uv'ing too: 1) Overlapping pieces - you should offset one of the pieces that are mirrored/overlapped (arms) so only one exists in the 0,0… -
Re: XNormal - Normal Map Comes Out Blank
Do you have another program that can open the file to check its UV's once exported? Because all the evidence points towards UV's breaking after export. Or at least check the .FBX version you exported that did bake something out, and seeing if its UV's remain intact. The other option is you have multiple UV sets and the… -

Exported as .obj, then re-imported to Cinema, and the UV's are still there In the 3D viewer, both the high poly and the low poly show up fine, overlapped over each other: http://imgur.com/a/hik3i I don't have a cage and I used the ray distance calculator under tools. After using the calculator, I pressed "Copy results", do… -
Re: XNormal - Normal Map Comes Out Blank
fire up that 3d viewer in xNormal and look at why it missed. Could be any number of simple things. Meshes not loaded. Meshes scaled differently. Cage not pushed out. Cage not loaded. Not enough ray distance if no cage. The viewer lets you do all sorts of basic troubleshooting. If nothing there looks wrong, try exporting as… -

Re: XNormal - Normal Map Comes Out Blank
Nope, all polygon's have been mapped -
Re: XNormal - Normal Map Comes Out Blank
No, but I think the problem is partial UV's — which OBJ does not support, which might explain why you get no results with OBJ but some broken parts with FBX. So, does every (and I mean absolutely every) polygon have a corresponding UV piece? If there's no simple way to check in cinema4d (I imagine you can just ctrl+A in… -

Does it matter if a model is open or closed geometry?
