Help! XNormal giving me strange tangent-space bake.
I'm having a particular issue with a bake I'm trying in XNormal. Here is what I'm trying to bake to a flat plane: When XNormals started misbehaving, I did a low-res bake in Textools just to make sure the normals I was working with were okay. For reference, here's what it gave: So far, so good. I then export to fbx format… -
Re: Why my normal gets so bad ?
I am not having baking issues so far after I fixed the UV in zbrush , the only issue is that the normal maps , that looks fine loaded in xnormal , in 3dsmax looks inverted so the bumps are cavities instead ... I am going to redo the surface detail of the model for some minor issues I got ... but unrelated to the normal map… -
Normal Map Issues - Please Help
Hello PolyCount! Just little problem with my normal map, that I've been trying to tackle today. The map was created using Xnormal and seems to give me a wear dark shaded area in the maya view port as I rotate the camera. The normal map looks fine to me and leads me to think theres an issue with my maya options. The map was… -
Re: Triangles in normal map
1. What is creating these triangles on my normal map? Is it something in the baking settings? Is it the topology? This is intentional and working as expected. The normal map bake is compensating for your low polys topology and placing those edges in there so that when displayed it will display correctly. To get this normal… -
xNormal Batch Baker for 3ds Max
Hello guys, I am currently working on a Maxscript Tool for 3ds Max called xNormal Batch Baker. I have created this tool to improve my workflow between 3ds Max and xNormal when I'm baking maps without exiting 3ds Max. I've tought that maybe could be useful for the rest of the community. xNormal Batch Baker for 3ds Max -… -
Re: Zbrush normal map help...
Codex Make sure that you've softened the edges under the Normals tab Normals>SoftenEdge. You need to have the edges selected for it to work. If that doesn't help your seems then first try selecting the entire mesh, combine and then select all of the verts and do a merge with a value of around .001 and try softening edges… -
From High res to height map to normal. Oh my.
I recently started work on a little indi project. The lead coder has asked that I supply him height map data rather than normal maps as they're simpler to work with or some such. Now, I've got my high and low poly models sorted and can bake out a normal map that looks nice. My next task is to generate a height map using… -
Re: [WIP] Mavica FD71 - Floppy Disk camera
Splitting normals before baking is a good process. We have a bit about why this is important: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_Map_Modeling#Smoothing_Groups_.26_Hard_Edges Also some great examples here, along with info on why those extreme gradients are best to avoid… -
Re: Learning Blender and Texturing
I use Substance Painter and sometimes Designer . SPainter has a nice name matching system to avoid the pain of cage tweaking . So the baking rays doesn't return hi poly object normals or other properties beyond two matching pieces like when you bake normal map on a finger and getting other fingers projected too. It… -
Re: Ugly Normal and AO Bakes
Hey, if you are using xNormal and can't get the models to work, try exporting the highpoly as Obj, instead (of Fbx). Apparently xNormal'S inbuild trianguilator can mess up your models, causing them to have t-shapes and what not. I think you can disable it, too, but overall I got the best results with Obj for the highpoly…
