UV Seam after Normal bake (sigh)
After looking around whole evening yesterday I figured out that this is a very common issue. However I haven't been able to solve it even though I looked through lots of threads as well as the wiki :/ Applications used: ZBrush, Modo, XNormal and UDK. So at first I thought it looked pretty good but at a closer inspection… -
Re: Does it matter what size you bake at?
only if it causes a problem where you are baking. the rays being used by the baker may act weird if you are at some crazy scale. but if you get a good bake, that's all that matters. -
Baking alpha stamps/brushes
I'm beginning to build up a library of personal alphas (screws, etc), and have a couple of questions I don't see come up. Why are alphas, such as on pixologic's site, generally low res? does it not matter? Is 1024 the highest you should need to go? Second when I make them I just bake out a height map in xnormal, set to 4k… -

Right now I'm using a "Max Shader" to scatter dust around the objects I'm working on. I blend my defuse with a procedural dust texture, to settle dust on top of… -
Re: Baking normals problem
No, there is still some misunderstanding going on. You just can't load a desaturated normalmap as part of your diffuse and expect a seamless result - doing so will *always* create difference in value across UV seams. That's why one just can't paint some "normalmap blue" to smooth out a shading seam - it doesn't work except… -
Answered: AO Baking - Buckets seams
Hello! i have some wierd effect when i bake Ambient occlusion in 3Do baker (increase or decrease resolution doesn't help), same result on different computers: and this seams appear at exact bucket edges, and there are no options to reduce this effect.

Re: Low poly modeling for baking textures
A good rule of thumb is that, if it's a separate piece how it was assembled or built, it's a separate piece. You can always bake with "match by name" or with just a traditional exploding method in the baker of your choice, to avoid baking artifacts. -
