Re: [P&P] - What are you working on? 2008 Edition
figured i should post this here too 3d construction sheet 2d construction sheet Minutes 0-15: Created the high poly from the low poly. Used chamfer, connect, inset, etc then threw a turbosmooth modifier on it. Minutes 15-25: Edited and fixed up the uvs. Broke smoothing groups into their own island. Minutes 25-30: Set up… -
Re: High to low ao bake maya 2009 pixel errors.
Anytime i need to bake normals in maya, i have to use XN for ao. This is pretty quick to do as the XN UI is very simple once you understand it, just load the high into the high field, low into low, click the correct map and hit render =D There are of course extra settings here, but that is the basics. One thing to note… -
Re: raul's game art
aNarchy - Those are ambient occlusion. I render one complete map from max. And one ambient occlusion map from softimage. And put them together. Spark - thanx for the feedback. After what we went over earlier i see most of the errors and stuff that conte has just pointed out. Im kinda embarrassed really... -Conte - My… -
Is a high poly Model Needed for Realistic PBR Game Assets?
Hello, I would like to know if a high poly model is necessary when creating a realistic game asset, especially in the game industry. I ask this because high poly modeling can be very time consuming and I haven't had much success with normal map baking thus far for complex models where xnormal doesn't get small details like… -
Re: UV sets between Maya and Max, helpppp :\
It would probably be easier to transfer the diffuse to the new UVs than to change anything with the normals if they're already looking the way you want. If Maya doesn't have a tool that lets you transfer information and textures between different models, you should be able to use a tool like xnormal. Objs should even work… -
Re: TB2 beta thread
Was doing some tests, makes me feel like I am doing something wrong: Wanted to test the tangentspace switch, but the 3dsmax wasn't giving the result I was expecting (but looks fine inside max) Then did another bake in Xnormal 3.17.16, normal map is looking as I would expect it to in PS. Converted the normal map in… -
Re: [CE3] Beach Bar Environment
I did a simple explode on my low/high poly for the normal map baking, and used Xnormal to bake it. I still need to double check light direction for normal maps in Cryengine (At work, green light comes from the bottom, Red from the right). For the AO, I did an 'exploded' bake, and a regular AO bake. When exploded, you don't… -
Re: Learning to bake
Yes, the data in the normal map influence the per-pixel shading of the low poly, making it look like the high poly once the map is applied, but if your low poly has some soft edges in such a way the low poly has vertex shading gradients, the normal map will also have gradients to compensate. This is a good thing, it means… -

Can someone explain OpenGL/DirectX workflow? This is weird.
Here's my Maya>Unity workflow, and I can't figure out why this is working the way it does. - Export Maya FBX with Smoothing Groups and Triangulate checked into Painter for texturing. - Once done, import into Unity with default settings - Normals set to Import and Tangents to Mikkt - Project is set to DirectX11 - Import my…
