Answered: Baking normal map for curvature map
Hi. So I'm trying to figure out how to bake a normal map for a good curvature map for a hard surface object, like an AK for example as I read somewhere that ddo bakes a curvature based on the normal map? So here's where I am at the moment: These are the models I'm using. Let's call it a simplified receiver of an ak. I'm… -
Re: 3DS Max's Chamfer's "Smooth to Adjacent" gives perfect face weighted normals but doesn't export
Yes, I'm not sure why this is. I've always just used this 1-click script for perfect and exportable FWVN: https://github.com/ByteHazard/wnormals I just tested this on 2018.1 and am having the same problems. Collapse to editable poly is fine, and maintains the normals. However, if I add an edit poly/edit normals/turn to… -
Re: Baking normal maps on hard-surface models
For the Distortion : Bake a NON-Average Map, just uncheck AVERAGE NORMALS in Painter. And later on cut the details in Photoshop and paste it into your "Average" Normal Map. So you have to bake two times, yes. One time your "real" normalmap, and one time your non-averaged normal just for the distorted details. For the… -
How to edit vertex normals for Anime / Toon shading in blender? (Arc System Works-Inspired)
Heya!, I've recently been very inspired by Arc System Work's 3D anime models, their work in Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball Fighter Z is absolutely amazing and they blur the line between 3D and 2D nearly seamlessly. So I've been trying to figure out how to recreate it, but I've hit a wall in the process. I've understood… -
How do I unify normals?
Hi, Working with max here. I have all the points welded for a particular object. Normals on some faces are flipped and some are not. I've come to the conclusion that the "Normal modifier" in max just stinks. The "Unify Normals" feature will not keep everything facing in one direction. Does anyone know of a script that… -
3dsmax How to check normals??
Hi guys i have a problem, how do i check in a quick way if normals are right or flipped inside of max?? Because in maya you just simply disable two sided lightining and that shows flipped normals... there is something like that inside of max? Or you have to convert into an editable mesh, check normals, flip?? Also i have a… -
Normal problem Maya/Marmoset
So here's the problem, I created an object.. duplicated it, inversed it -1 on its x axis for a quick mirror of the duplicate, freezed it's scale, and then went ahead to uv it and normal map it, k, so it looks fine in Maya but the problem is the normals appear flipped when i put it into marmoset. The only solution i found… -
Re: Xnormal to max workflow.
if you baked a normal map in Xnormal you've already got a low poly model with UVs, just apply the normal map in max with your favorite shader - like Xoliul Shader or 3 Point Shader -
Normal vs Displacement maps
Hi all. Quick question, looking at artistic, not technical answers: Normal maps and displacement maps would seem to affect a lot of the same spots on a texture - would I be correct in understanding that while a displacement map is used to alter the height of the poly or micropoly, the normal map then provides the lighting… -
Normal map and Specular map not playing nice
I've normal mapped a character, and just made a spec map. Problem is, the spec map goes by real geometry instead of the normal map lighting. How do I make the spec map obey the normal map?
