Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hello, Besides all the technical details about baking well-covered above by @Fabi_G (as always !), I think you are going down a weird rabbit hole with this model. It certainly looks very clean and detailed, but it also looks a lot like something that has been crafted with a CAD-like mindset of trying to put each and every… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hi! I had a moment to check out your mesh. I think there is a fair amount of edges that don't contribute much to the silhouette and/ or shading and could be collapsed. The resulting mesh would have edges fanning out increasing resolution where it matters (curved elements). The so re-gained geometry could be put toward mesh… -
Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
My knowledge of normal map baking is still fairly limited, so it’s possible that I misunderstood some aspects. I’ll try to describe how I currently see it. First, here are some screenshots of the problem. LowPoly: Low Poly modifires: UV: (I have 2 udims as this model is part of the larger model of car with texel desniinity… -

Hi @Fabi_G Thank you for your patience. I really appreciate your support. I can share the specific model if needed, although I’m not sure it’s necessary. I did some reading and experimented a bit with baking at 2x resolution and then downscaling and normalizing the normals. The results are definitely much better now. See…
