Issues Baking Normalmap
Hey everybody. I'm relatively new at this. Far enough along to start getting into the complicated issues, but not quite good enough yet to get them right. I've recently started UVing and baking normals from high poly meshes. For the last week, I've been spending all my modeling time tweaking settings and rebaking the same… -
Re: Bake only hard edges in a UV texture.
Thanks a bunch for the replies guys. I was able to figure out a quick way of selecting only the soft edges by using the "Polygon Selection Constraint" window. All you have to do is specify smooth or hard edges only. However, this turned out to not be enough. Because if I delete all of the smooth edges it can destroy my UVs… -
Call to arms - Hakan Kamar - In the making
Alright so here I go again, another character. Going to record this one on poylcount and artstation. I won't bother posting all the reference I used but I will post what led me to make this man (he isn't finished at the time im writing this 11/10/2019 EU).First stage: The idea I always wanted to make something simple, I… -
Baking single mesh with one area adjacent to another
Hello there. I have a question regarding baking of a mesh with areas that are situated very close to each other. For example, a robe with a hood, where the hood touches the back, so to say (to show what I mean attaching a example from hogwarts legacy). So the whole robe is a single mesh so don’t think exploding is the way… -
ZBrush Vs. Xnormal Bake Aberration Query. Thank You.
Thank You. After four full working days of hand-wringing and research I've finally caved: I cannot solve this problem on my own. Apologies if this has been covered, but I really cannot find a solution anywhere. I cannot figure out what's causing the artifacts in the 1st normal map above. Viewed in DirectX/Stingray 3DSMax… -
Weird results when baking normal map
Hey, continuing this topic, but kind of a different question so I made a new one: https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/2666828#Comment_2666828 Anyway, I learned how to make tiling textures in 3ds max and made one for my project but my rendering results are weird to say the least. First, I made a few bricks in zbrush… -
xNormal suddenly unable to bake textures
Hi all, I have been using xNormal for several weeks without any hiccups, but a new problem cropped up which I am unable to solve. My work flow all these time was to create a low res mesh in 3ds Max, goz to Zbrush to sculpt in high-quality details, then goz back into 3ds Max to optimize and unwrap, then finally use xNormal… -
Re: Question about edge padding/dilation -> When to use, with baking or as a last step?
Use padding anytime you can, especially in you plan on working in Substance Painter. The reason is quite simple : while you only export your final texture at the end of the texturing process, a lot of tools (mask generators, brush painting and so on) rely on the padding in your baked texture to read and filter them… -
Photogrammetry Textures
So I've been into photogrammetry for a few years now and have been slowly upgrading my equipment to the point where I feel I'm ready to show off some of the results I've been getting. I got myself a color checker a few months ago and definitely realized that was the missing puzzle peace. Now all my scans can be blended…
