Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
I feel so dumb having "reference" just below instance and not having noticed it until you mentioned it, holy shit. Thats great help for the future, thanks! The problem with them not being instanced is that once I remove the loops from the "original" 5 rocks that receive the bake, ill have to manually delete the same loops… -
Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
Hello everyone, its my first post here but glad to finally join this web that has given me so much useful information. I was wondering if there is some way to reduce the amount of polys by removing internal loops without making the normal map behave weird. I have some rocks with diffuse and normal map, and when I remove… -
Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
I had never heard about the substitute modifier either. Thank you both of you for your help! -
Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
Does it matter if the blocks aren't instanced anymore as long as all uv are at the good position ? I'm not sure to understand why you couldn't rebake. Yeah you could rebake from the previous low + normal map, or from your original high poly. If you need to make adjustements on some objects without breaking instances, you… -
Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
I may be understanding something wrong here, but the normal map of the denser meshes is already in tangent space not object space afaik (purple map, no green anywhere), so i cant convert it can I? Im sorry if what im saying sounds dumb, im pretty noob with normal map shenanigans xd. Your help is greatly appreciated! -
Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
well you did mention substance, I would have thought you baked all the maps like OS normal, curvature, etc. What you want to do is take the OS space normal, or bake one, and your new less dense geometry, and use those in a object space to tangent conversion. That will correct the normal map to fit that new geometry -
Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
try converting the denser meshes object space normal map to tangent space normal using the light mesh as the target geometry. you can do it in designer, xnormal etc -
Re: Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
You probably won't have any issue with the triangulation being different if you do the same step every time. but it might just be quicker to replace the bricks with a substitute modifier. If I grasp the current state of what you have in front of you. I think it would work like, make your geo changes to the "original",…
