Slightly confused: Baking normal maps onto a low-poly object!
At the moment I have a high-poly model. I'm beginning retopology for a low-poly version, but I've never baked normal maps before. The model doesn't have any UV's as of yet. So I'm feeling lost. Did I screw up completely by not UV mapping first? If it's any help I'm using zBrush. How do you folks create normal maps for a… -
Re: Bake AO Bitmap in Max
Yep. Then in Render To Texture, there will be a new output type, I think it's called MR:AO or something similar. Laurens Corijn goes over some of the different methods of baking AO. http://www.laurenscorijn.com/articles/ambient-occlusion-baking Personally I lean toward VRay Dirt, if you have access to VRay. If I don't have… -
Re: Creating ID Maps from ZBrush Models for Substance Painter
I just paint some flat colors on the hipoly in zbrush. Then I use the "bake color map from mesh" baker set to "vertex colour". Zpaint colors in zbrush export as vertex color. This way it doesn't matter how many polygroups you have. Or how many meshes you're loading. -
Baking AO/NM on LP mesh with separated pieces
Hi, I want ask to how can properly bake ao/nm when my low poly has separated pieces. As you can see in image, mesh on left side is connected as one piece and cage behind him not overlaps (46 tris), but right mesh has only 36 tris and has 2 pieces but cages behind him overlaps. I want ask how create right maps for separated… -
Normal baking error - White lines on model
Hi guys! I'm new around and I hope you can help me with this issue: when I bake normal map I get these lines in my model that can't be fixed with the cage neither the skew option. I tried deleting and repeating the retopology + unwrapping every time it happens (sometimes works) but this time I don't know what else to do.… -

I've been making this train and everything is perfect its just that when i bake lighting i get this huge seam where i mirrored the geometry please help me fix this! i… -
How do you bake a bent normal map from a mesh with a normal map on it?
I wanna use bent normal maps for better occlusion computation but they are worthless for cases when you've painted your normal maps onto an object in Substance Painter. Is there a way to bake normal maps from an object that has a normal map and an occlusion map on it? -
Re: "Dirty" normal maps.
Welp... only slightly suspicious thing I saw was different normals length on high poly, but normalizing it had no effect. 3dsmax 2021 baked normal as expected without any weirdness. I think you are right and it's all about the baker. Substance designer insisted on having tons of dithering on flat surfaces no matter what I… -
Re: Light seam on matcap bake (zbrush)
Ah, I see the issue, although I'm not too sure why you're rendering it like this. ZB for the Matcap's uses Sphere-Mapping, meaning the light at a 'view' or 'seam' will always go from a certain color and direction to another, in this Upper Orange to Lower Blue, always facing the camera. So it's not ideal for baking, I… -
Re: Usefull aditions to marmoset ( Wishlist )
Hey @Joao Sapiro We don't have specific plans for these yet but both are on our todo list to investigate for future updates. We had to do a big restructure for the baker to get it working with the new ray-tracing engine, and lost the ability to do lighting bakes in the process. But it may be possible to revive these in the…
