Hello,I recently tried to bake this low poly mesh (it has some hardened edges) with an high polybut these black artifacts appear, I really don't know if this is normal or what could I do to make the normal map bake look better?Extra information:-The UV cuts are in the same place as the hard edgesthanks Where hard edges are…
The way I think about it is> hard edges are for mesh shading. Spliting the UV once the only concern about using hard edges is addressed is basically using the button to convert hard edges to UV seams. aka stop using the convert UV seams to hard edges button, you are doing it backwards :#
It's hard to tell what's going on for sure, but if there's a slight bulge in the center and you use subdivision with one central pole, you can get subdivision artifacts like that, you can try to use multiple loops and make sure the middle circle is completely flat or use a geo/cube sphere for a starting point and avoid…
just look at the lowpoly mesh without wireframe. the shading is just very strong. without more resolution and probably 16bit depth, the normalmap can only do so much. ideally you want as little shading as possible in your lowpoly.you can achieve this by using extra chamfers (costs more geo) or using hard edges on UV seams,…
Hello! I am a Junior Character Artist trying to break into industry as well, but I do stylized stuff, so I can't provide enough feedback to you. Just passing by to say that I know sometimes fell pretty hard to go there and look for a job, but don't give up our work looks awesome to me! Realistic characters seems hard to do!
You are so good at making hair! Thank you for sharing so many resources on this, it can be really hard to find details on how people make good hair, at least from my experience
Hi! If the question is "split UVs at hard edges?", the answer is yes, UVs must be split at hard edges. But edges at UVs split don't need to be hard. A search should bring up a few more threads on this topic. Depending on the mesh, if each face had its own UV shell, it would foremost be a waste of texture space due to the…
