Retopologizing garments and baking overhanging details
Hi all, I'm new to the forum but I've read a lot of wonderful info on here and this community is amazing so I figured I'd give it a shot to ask here before I try and reinvent the wheel on my character project. Concept: I have a few questions regarding the retopologizing into baking normal map work flow for game characters.… -
Normal map baking issue
Hi. Benn stuck with this issue for a couple of days now when baking the hi res details of a mesh it would output some artifacts. I've made sure that every intersecting geo has their own respective bake groups. Cage offset is good and doesn't change no matter where the slider is. I've tried edge padding to zero just to… -
[QUESTION] Baking Process
I tried to bake displacement map in ZBrush but it says that there's no UV applied to my target mesh (what could be happening?) Then I moved to Mudbox and I finally could bake it but this is what happens. The wireframe appears on the map and also, I can see absolutely no details that I did on the hi-res version of this… -
Re: Beginner 3D Model – Need Feedback on Topology
As said above, good texturing with PBR materials, good lighting and 2dfx (like the smoke) and well optimised models. Here's a good quick example of high poly to low poly baked material use Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/1sgac0v/this_is_your_sign_to_learn_how_to_bake_normal_maps/ Or better yet here's a… -
Re: Errors baking in Marmoset - Chain mail
Some baker / options have "until first hit" which would apply the (hmm, pls. correct me if I mixed them up) rear ray distance but kind of ignores the frontal ray distance. The baker just shoots the ray until anything was hit. If you invert the normals you bake 'inside out' and therefor the baker will not accidentally hit… -
Re: Baking animated textures?
Ok, maybe i could make my question a bit clearer, since i cant play with it untill i get home,I get the material animation but can you transfer animated 3d onto a plane. Ex:lets say take a cube put it on a spline path, have it intersecting a plane, animate it moving then bake all maps onto the plane>Normal, complete, la da… -
Little problem with the Bake
Hi! i have a problem that i can't resolve. When i try to bake my HP to LP, ALWAYS happen the same thing, in the right/left side, i have a few lines after the bake. I have tried to change the format of the file, the sotfware of the bake, the UV, a little changes in the retopo... and always is the same mistake :( I think the… -
Re: 3dsmax Ambient Occlusion bake problem
I just tried it,is super fast indeed but the resulting AO is not good enough compared to what I get from a proper ao bake in max,in the image below inside the red square you can see what AO Knald is giving me from the normal map in that round piece (I just pushed it to 150% to make it better visible),there is like a white… -
Re: Baking a high poly onto a low poly
Blender's normal map baking lacks internal AA and as such produces either crappy results, or you have to make an image too big (and you don't edit normal maps after they bake, so resizing is not a professional option). If this has changed, let me know. But afaik, as nice and easy as their baking setup is, it's really not… -
Baking normal maps for belts/straps
Hey. I tried to look for an answer but no luck. I imagine that's something that has been discussed. So my main problem is baking straps/belts. I would like to use efficient custom low poly meshes to bake to but making those is a bit of a pain and I think that's the process that can be improved upon. I'm testing this…
