Re: Normal map seam
Go for it, but I thought you understood the point of the "don't use 3dsmax for normal maps" thread... when you're using a shader that isn't synched with your baker (like baking in Max RTT and shading in UDK) then strong angles on your low-poly model will only shade correctly when they have hard edges created from Smoothing… -
Re: Is there a way to use the Quick Loader with the Python module?
You're right that the baker interface in Python doesn't support the use of the quick loader. We'll go ahead and expose the functionality for it in the next patch: import mset baker = mset.BakerObject() # Use Quick Loader baker.importModel("E:/MyModel.fbx") Currently Marmoset Toolbag does not support using the quick loader… -
Re: Need help understanding xnormal, Knald and Substance painter
Substance Painter has a built-in baker. You set your project to show your lowpoly file, point the baker to your highpoly model file, and bake maps just like Xnormal (or Knald) would do. Substance Painter is just a little bit convoluted in that regard because high and low are specified in two very different places of the… -
Clarisse FX died , now what's best for lookdev of densely populated backgrounds, big scenes ?
For sort of background LODs where evrything baked in together . With trees , grass covered crumbled cityscapes , rendered clouds . Through last 20 years I used Vue, then Terragen, then ClarisseFX , then just Blender with Octane . The first two were non stop pain in your..... Clarisse was perfect with lots of procedural… -
Re: Decal technique from Star Citizen
Now, if we could please please please please get realtime curvature baking, I would be able to die a happy man. :D * Old Knald can only bake AO from lowpoly * DDO 2.0 isn't out yet * In-Unity baking methods exist (Beast, WN bakers), but are ungodly slow * You can get proper lowpoly curvature out of xNormal, but you have to… -
Re: Apache Helicopter
for this week i started the texturing process but experienced a couple issues with the baking but all that was fixed and now i have began the texturing and hoping to be done with it by this week and work overtime for I am behind on my timeline -
Jagged edges while baking
Hi. I'm baking a screw so that I can use it in my textures. There's an ugly white outline at the edges of the screw when I test the bake: I think this is caused by the really rough edges present in the baked texture: I tried baking in 4k and then scaling the image back to 1024x1024 in PS, but it didn't help. Is there a way… -
Re: Ddo or Substance designer
Normal map bakes are very good overall. You can get really good bakes even without a cage. The cage process is through any 3D program you use. You create your cages inside Maya and export them and use them in the normal bake properties within substance. You do need to explode your mesh at times to get the best results. I… -
Re: Understanding averaged normals and ray projection/Who put waviness in my normal map?
Well it depends. If your renderer and baker are synced up, as far as tangent basis goes(IE: 3ps quality mode in max, the latest 2011 max, Maya's baker and viewport display). Then using a minimum of hard edges is ideal, because it just "works" without thinking too much about it. However, since you're baking in XN, and XN… -
Re: Question regarding workflows
I assume the video you watched on max baking, they were using cages to project and manipulate the rays and in xnormal you set the ray length. Both bakers can do either method. Which is better is probably dependent on the model and your time constraints. Cages allow more control but can be a chore. Setting the ray length is…
