Splitting normals before baking is a good process. We have a bit about why this is important: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Modeling#Smoothing_Groups_.26_Hard_Edges Also some great examples here, along with info on why those extreme gradients are best to avoid…
A mix of both of them.I have this problem, unless I split the normals (In blender I mark the edges as sharp), the tangents of the normals become very visible. I've tried using weighted normals modifier but I can't make it work
@illumisanic Oh, correct me if wrong think my question wasn't that clear? indeed sorry about that bad habit/s : # Had initially meant texture resolution and as I understand this is a hero prop? so was just wondering if the texel density was either 4096 = 20.48px/cm or perhaps 2048 = 10.24px/cm...etc? hence out've personal…
