Baking lights onto pre-existing texture/uvunwrap?
I have a model that I am working on for Unreal2k4 and so far everything has been going according to plan. However, I have recently discovered how blown out my texture looks when I get in game with the character. The texture lacks varying values so the colors and textures have no depth. Is there a way I can sort of 'cheat'… -
Re: Need Help in baking normal map using Substantial Painter
The purpose of high poly is to bake normal map The purpose of nornal map is to have detail without having geometry. High poly does not have normal map Dont bake normal map if you dont have sculpted detail... I see you trying to make normal maps out of everything, you dont need to. -
Re: Undesirable Normal Maps from Baking
What does it look like applied to the model? As a general rule you shouldn't make any judgements as to the "quality" of a normal map bake by looking at it in 2d, check it on the model as something that may look off to you in the image may be essential to making it work on the model. -
Re: How to bake normals with just a floating geometry object on all surfaces in the scene
What you should do in this case is duplicate the objects in your 3D app, and save them into the FBX files where appropriate. If you keep your file / object structure the same in your 3D app, it will make managing and reloading the files a lot easier. When you load a FBX file it comes in as a "File Reference" object - this… -

Using face weighted normals for normal map baking
I've been wondering about this I learned about the face weighted normals. Is it possible to make a normal map using the ready mesh (bevelled edges and changed shading data) as high poly and the guide mesh (the one we use to create the ready mesh) as low poly? High poly that was created with face weighted normals ("ready… -
Re: Mirrored UV Baking Issues
For the second issue, as you can see little X shaped errors, the problem is that your mesh is being triangulated by your baker and your viewer differently. For any type of rendering, a quad always has to been converted to triangles, and of course a quad can always be split into triangles in two different ways. So depending… -
Baking Vertex Lighting in XSI
Shout out to fellow XSI goers over here. I'm working on some assets for a dated engine that doesn't have fantastic lighting. So I've been trying to figure out any kinds of ways I can tweak the lighting per object. I'm applying illuminated decals (for direct light coverage) but for this engine, I need to also shade in the… -
Re: Artifacting happening after trying to bake?
Check to make sure your high and low poly objects have different materials. Depending on which version you're using this may cause recursive bake errors where the normal map get's applied to the high poly material, and that causes the high poly normal data to bake back to the low poly. This should be resolved in the 3.05… -
What is the correct workflow for using a baked LP object with a Substance Material?
Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with this. I've entered the artstation environment challenge and I've come across an issue I'm having. I haven't used Designer much before with bespoke objects, but in this instance I'm creating the Wild West scene and I've created some bespoke rock formations. I've unwrapped these rocks…
