Re: Map baking in Zbrush vs. Xnormal
From the top of my head, Xnormal lets you: Use completely different meshes for the lowpoly and highpoly (good for when the highpoly contains multiple meshes, floating geometry, etc) Specify the tangent basis of the normal map Have control over a mesh's vertex normals Bake more map types Preview maps as they bake,… -
Re: 3DSMax RTT - How to bake using alpha thru DIF/NRM/etc.?
Allright, thanks every one for the help. I was able to bake the normal map the way I needed finally. Here's a little feedback on what's been said in this thread and if it worked for me in this case: Default RTT : failed to do what I needed Mental ray RTT with Arch&Design cutout technique: failed to do what I needed DirectX… -
Questions about normal baking via explosion
(I use mostly 3ds Max) I'm not sure how to word this but I have several struggles remaining about baking complex objects. I've learned many things this year about baking normals. Check your smoothing groups and uvs, make sure normals aren't reversed, take out the high-poly render setup (shellac material and colored… -
Re: Baking Spec Maps Via Max
Baking specular is to get a base, further editing will be needed to add the higher and lower values within the different material areas like scratches, wet areas, dirty areas ect, do this in photoshop ect. You can bake one without without using lights. If you want to use lights like pior did, it's just to give a bit more… -
Blender: Volumetric Lighting/Texture Baking
Hi. I'm not sure what you call this exactly, but I'm trying to bake the lighting shining through the window so I can use it as a texture map. Does this make sense? How do I do this. Anyone have tutorials? I've manage to bake somewhat light but it was too distorted. I know it probably had to do with the direction of the… -
Re: Maya normal map baking question
Sorry I dont know there, it is a massive pain though. I use the mesh smooth command, but this has a major flaw, if you don't delete your history your bakes can take a REALLY long time. So I would always save out a "clean" scene, then delete history, bake, and then revert back to that clean scene if I need to make any… -

Artifacts in baking
So i decided to make my first model of Nanachi from Made in abyss and retopologize it fully in blender, but eventually it came to using Marmoset and Substance and it just drove me nuts, since there is nothing i can find of a solution. Might be a lot of trouble with UV cos i used my own hands to make it and place on UV map… -

It has been a while since i've released a tutorial! But here is a new tutorial that takes you through the process of creating your own custom cage for baking textures in XNormal! With programs like Substance and Marmoset making cages for you, it's still really important to learn how they are created so you can fix some of… -
bizarre baking issue seemingly caused by VRAM shortage
Hi, I've been stuck with this issue for some time now, and I cannot for the life of me find any single cause. I'm trying to bake this 19 million triangle high-poly mesh: ...onto this much lower poly mesh: To clarify: -My mesh is split into 3 UDIMs, all merged at UV0 with respective material names. (1001, 1002, 1003) -All…
