But baking is such a blanket term its hard… -
Reduce internal loops and keep the same normal map?
Hello everyone, its my first post here but glad to finally join this web that has given me so much useful information. I was wondering if there is some way to reduce the amount of polys by removing internal loops without making the normal map behave weird.

Source engine character modeling question
Hi All. I am working on character model for L4D2. My original plan was to use a single 2048 square texture space, so in the end I would have two 2048 textures for - diffuse and normal.

Re: poops substance fiddling thread

Re: Help - Mesh is causing flipped normals across axes in substance (non overlapping UVs), nothing works
Ok now I think I understand what you are talking about. First off let's be *very* precise. What you are specifically talking about is the look of the top and bottom edges of the embossed details. In other words, this whole thread is about this and only this (which if I am understanding you correctly comes from a 2D to…
