Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
Hey everyone, just read through the entire thread and looked up some tutorials to make my own normal maps, but they all turn out looking like this: Does anyone know why this is happening? I followed this tutorial to the letter, but my result didn't turn out that way… -

Thanks for the wayback link @willdebeast, that made it a lot easier to replace the images. The links were lost when dropbox nuked the public folder feature. Of interest to most who will read this thread, I wrote an extensive tutorial that covers this topic and many other common baking issues. It's geared towards baking in… -

@Artbyv This is the tutorial Im following ATM, and still the same results. I feel it has to do with averaging my cage, in the video he does not average his cage he only pulls the normals out. If I just pull the normals out and leave the normals of my cage hard I get the typical seams along the edges. If I soften the… -

Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
This was some great information. I am still a rookie at modeling, high to low poly modeling in particular and I noticed that you mentioned creating a "model for your low", which I assume is a thread similar to this or perhaps a tutorial. Regardless, I'm having difficulty finding it. Could you post a link please? I would… -

Long story short. You don't have enough bits per channel to accurately represent the normal map. Look at this interactive page, you can clearly start to understand why you are getting those artifacts. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/bit-depth.htm Solution: Don't save normal maps as JPEG. Save them as TGA. If you… -
