Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
If only there were a proper 3DS Max tutorial for that kind of unwrapping. I followed their UVW unwrapping tutorial, but it never went any further than planar/cylindrical projection (that aeroplane tutorial). -
Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
Yup, used that one while I was first learning to bake - it's a particularly good tutorial actually! -
Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
No problems, hope it helps. Goes really fast when you get the hang of it, and if you use renderhjs's textools plugin, some of those things are even quicker. I thought i'd do it vanilla style though so it might be clearer. You're right about the 3dsmax tutorials being outdated though! It's easy to forget how dusty that… -

Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
I went to Leeds Metropolitan University. Never mind normal mapping, they barely taught us anything - most of the stuff I handed in was self-taught. Because of that fact, I actually wrote a research assignment in my final year on normal mapping. I even wrote a step by step tutorial for baking in Max. That's partly why this… -
Re: Normal Mapping in Max 2012
Dude tell me about it. Im kinda in the same boat. I graduated University 3 years ago now with a 2:1, and felt like I hadnt even scratched the surface of games design...feeling well underqualified I've still not applied to a single developer...even though I studied it for 3 years. To be honest my work back then was awful,… -
Normal Mapping in Max 2012
I've just come out of a Game Design course and feel hugely underqualified, and so I'm taking modelling into my own hands and seeing whether I can learn as I go. A few days with normal mapping would suggest "probably not". I've followed just about every normal mapping tutorial on the internet - it always works in those…
