Re: Is this normal map ok?
Hi! Looks as intended to me. The values of the border pixel where the UVs end get repeated outwards (edge padding) to reduce visible seams when the texture is displayed at a lower resolution (mip map). I suppose by banding you mean the stepping in the padded pixels? That's probably due to the UV borders not being aligned… -
Re: [Wip] Warhammer 40k Ork Huge Choppa
Oh yeah, for sure. Baking is difficult and there are loads of things you should keep in mind. Pieces like these should be laid out vert/horiz and straightened for the same reason as I mentioned above. Its easy to do this by selecting the faces, going UV Editor > Modify > Unitize, then selecting all the edges, and… -
Re: UV mapping techniques
like many others I used to mark seams and then flatten (relax) shells but I found it to be much much faster by simply selecting faces (e.g by normal angle) and then flatten it as a shell like this: I binded the "Planar" button from the unwrap UVW interface combined with a relax iteration on a shortcut. The same can be… -
Re: Never use turbosmooth?
I didn't expect this many comments! Well, they guy must have been watching me or something(to answer why he came over). I should have elaborated a bit more on why he said "never use turbosmooth", I was doing hard surface work at the time, not character or organic modeling which works better with TS. I assume he thought it… -

Re: How do you join a textured and retopologised head to a body mesh?
Well ... to some extent you've pretty much answered your own question already : you get the output from Wrap, then attach it to whatever body you need it to be attached to (either by actually welding verts, or by just manipulating normals at the edges to make things visually seamless). Wrap3 doesn't "autoretopo" anything… -
xNormal hard-surface problem (seams on separated shells)
Hi I'm having problems generating a proper normal map using xNormal. I've read the stuff in the wiki on normal maps but couldn't solve the issue with the info provided there. I really feel like a loser now beause the thing is that I'm not a newbie or an amateur. I've worked in the business of game development for over a… -
Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
I started looking in to making a bunch of glass containers. With all the references I gathered and looking at the scene, I feel like there's going to be a lot of different bottles, jars, vials, etc. The more variation the better; different silhouettes, sizes and such will help make the scene feel busy. But I really didn't… -

Help - Maya normal map transfer weird behaviour/seams
Hello everyone, So i've ran into this issue and i cant seem to find a way to get rid of it. What happens is a weird seam shows up on my normal map edge and i cant find a logical explanation for why its happening, from what i can tell the maya transfer map engine misses a couple of pixels and then "finds" the edge its…
