Re: Unwrapping tyre treads
Well, the magic trick didn't seem to work in Max, but in Xnormal it produced a more normal looking normal map. Now, I'm no normal map expert, but it seems a bit off, like quite busy in places where it shouldn't be? Any tips on how to improve it? I don't mind that the two circular shapes on the right (top two) are a bit… -
Re: [WIP] Sci-Fi Floor Panel
Hi CrackRock, thanks for the reply. So I've modelled the lowpoly and baked out the normal map and AO. Having a few shading problems on the railings - think this is down to smoothing groups as have tried to keep them on a single smoothing group and changed the angles away from 90deg to decrease splits, however seeing as the… -
Re: Light tactical vehical
Some of the needed edge cuts seems to be distibuted all over the model ? Maybe good for concepting but this may should be optimized (for example showing the 3 to 1 quad transition) especially when there are so many planar areas (then even triangles are no problem).. the hood seems to need some of that details (green).… -
Re: [WIP] AWSM .338 Sniper Rifle
http://wiki.polycount.com/Normal%20Map#Re-normalizing Both the nvidia and xnormal filters can do this. It just resets the normal lengths back to how they should be. If you've overlayed any details in photoshop you should do this. Here's an example. -
Re: !NEED HELP! NormalMap Problems(AlwaysFun)
To bake 16bit in xnormal iirc I used tif. Can't remember the set up exactly to make sure it's 16bit. Substance should default the mesh map normal channel to RGB16F, which is 16bit per channel. When you check details of a 16bit RGB, the details shows you total bit depth by adding all the floats together. ie a 16bit RGB… -
Re: Astartes Bolter WIP
You need to set up your normal smooth angles on your low-poly model, that's a major part of why you're getting errors in your bake. EarthQuake's article goes into a lot of good depth about it, but I'll summarize real fast based on my experience with Hard-Surface game models. 1) You need to set up your face/edge normals in… -
Re: tiles texture for morrocan atrium house
I did a little test: To check how the normal map for those diagonal tiles has to look like in general. I made the following object... and generated a normal map using xnormal. It looks like this: Notice, that two of the diagonal sides dont have any green or red hue, but only a blue tint of different brightness. If i render… -
Re: Turtle Animation
I created my normal map using zbrush when I projected the polypaint from the high poly mesh to the low poly mesh, I tried using xnormal but didn't get very good results. This is the normal map for the skin, which still needs a bit of tidying up around the eyes: These are the settings that I used, using the aistandard… -
Re: What steps are required for a 3d artist to make a finished game asset?
Well there's alot of faff between your modelling app, normal baking app and your game engine. Normals differ within each so don't port accurately. Altho tools like 'Handplane' act like a middleman converting them for you for more accurate results. Plus I hear UE4 has worked specifically with the most commonly used baking… -
Re: Substance Painter - Master Thread
Wow, thanks man. But I think there is some problems with interpreting base color. When it's not white, material becomes extremely contrasty. Also I have noticed that normal maps baked in xnormal works not properly. You can see a diagonal line on the screenshot of rifle above. Оption with different tangent spaces would be…
