Re: Normal Map problem
Using SBM and meshsmooth is the way to go, turbosmooth is okay if your just previewing but as a final product it's not ideal imo < that's from personal experience though some people like it :/ ======================================================= This is my method with some instruction from Santiago Orgaz; 1. Detach all… -
Normals with 3PointShader and Xol Come out Bad! Need help (3dsmax)
Hello, I've posted on this forum before and you were extremely helpful. So I come to you again with another problem as such: I have original baked normals from 3ds max, http://puu.sh/1SFfW http://puu.sh/1SFgQ As you can see, they look fine. However when I add text to the normals through Photoshop using the Nvidia Filter,… -
3ds max and object space normal maps?
I was curious whether max can use object space normal maps (from xnormal) or not. I have some object space normal mapped models I'd love to make some beauty renders of, but unfortunately I have no idea how I'd do that in max, or if it's even possible. Anyone know if it can be done and if the results are good? -
Re: Explanation for the normal result in these cirumstances
Well that normal map isn't a good bake. The gradient will cause issues especially if the tangent space normals are not synced with the baking program and the engine. If you have a 6 sided object you need to have all the edges hard, and each face needs to be a separate UV chunk. Your original bake in xnormal looks like a… -
Normal mapping hard edges problem
Hello guys. I starting to learn normal mapping for hard surfaces, and decided to start with a simple cube. And yep I'm already having a problem. There's some weird seams all over the edges, and I can't firgue what causes this. All the cube's edges are hard edges(different smoothing group) with their uv's split. I used… -

Re: Normal Seams
Keeping the mesh complete has helped alot. There's still some faint seams but I guess that unavoidable. I'm also using the Kaldera normal material in this pic which helps too. Unfortunately there is still some weird stuff happening on the inside of his legs and a few other places. I think this might be xNormal's fault… -
Normal Map Export Issue
Heya guys, So for some reason when ever I export the normal map on this flashlight it renders out like total garbage. The display in Substance Painter looks fine, but when i apply the map to the object in other programs such as Maya it looks awful. Can someone explain what the cause of this is? I've tried to export in both… -

Intensified AO and normal… -
