Re: n88tr's art dump thread
The last two posts of your high poly work are looking good. You need to bevel your 90* corners though. Take a look at this pic here: See how the corners aren't sharp? You'll never see perfectly sharp corners in any manufactured product. And for baking, you need to have "looser" bevels than realistic, so the map picks up… -

So no edges on my low should be really sharp, is that the idea? A little smoothness to everything? -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
Take a look at the edge on the tip of the barrel on the rifle your working on for example. They look like they are sharp. -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
i am following a tutorial, that eat3d one like i posted before different angle: so my bevels should be greater on my high poly? what about my low poly, can my edges still be sharp like they are now? -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
It's not that they shouldn't be sharp, but if you're baking a really hard edge on your HP to a hard edge on your LP then the normal map isn't really doing anything. Even if it's a slight bevel, you want to avoid 90 degree angles (even if it may be 90 degrees in your reference) you will get a better bake. -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
It's a little hard to see with the screenshots you have but the bakes wont capture the planar changes of your high poly crate very well. Keep in mind that the closer to sharp 90 degree angles your edges are on the high poly, the less it will show up on the bake. Try loosening up your bevels on your edges and making them… -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
Sword is looking good so far. My concerns would be the cylinder connecting to the blade, as you said. You can put a bracket, weld, or make the end of the cylinder more molded to the blade rather than ending as abruptly. Also, the bevel on the metal plate that is screwed into the blade itself seems significantly sharper… -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
First of all, make sure your high poly model has nice thick smooth edges so your bake comes out well. The sharper the edges on the high, the less information is transfered to the low and will alias out quick. Dont know if its any help but my work process atm is as follows. 1. Make the high poly model. (Nice thick smooth… -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
from what i see now the sword's blade needs to be sharper.
