Smoothing Errors
Hi! I'm just testing around with texture baking and got those ugly smoothing errors. I've already tried some other methods, different UVs and smoothing groups, but it always ends with messy UV seams or ugly smoothing errors. I've also already used the forum search, but I couldn't find a good solution. I don't know what I… -
Re: Smoothing Errors
In short, the only way to completely get rid of these errors is using a shader that is using the same tangent basis as the baker. The only one I'm aware of is 3point shader in max using normals baked with max rtt. -

http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68173&highlight=normal+maps+max take a look here, it's a long topic but it has got all the info you need. and guys about the errors, come on, look closer. ;P -
Re: Smoothing Errors
Yeah, now that you mention it I guess there are some slight gradients on the sides, I can barely see them on this monitor. Using 3point shader might fix them. Otherwise, since you've chamfered all your edges, I'd average the vertex normals of your larger faces (so they are parallel to the face normal), it would fix any… -
Re: Smoothing Errors
Am I blind or something? I don't see any smoothing erros on the lowpoly with normal maps applied, looks pretty clean to me actually. -
Re: Smoothing Errors
Thanks for the replies! I thought about it, but this would create many texture seams and makes it difficult to texture. Thanks, there are many workarounds and so on, but I couldn't find a real solution for my problem. Did I overseen something? Yes, in max viewport, but in a game engine it will still appear, wouldn't it?… -
Re: Smoothing Errors
Yep, same here, looks fine to me as well! -
Re: Smoothing Errors
it would mean to create a smoothing group per every large flat surface, this would remedy the larger gradients but will introduce glitches at the edges if you don't also split the UVs and move them apart slightly along the hard edges. read more about that here:… -
Re: Smoothing Errors
Have you tried splitting your UV's were you have hard edges on the mesh?
