Re: Orca Patrol Submarine
nice ship! heres some shotgun baking tips: Just remember for normal bakes: seams are unavoidable. hide them. you can hide them out in the open, just as long as they run along the edges of bevels or something else that makes sense for a break in normal tangency. UV breaks, and Smoothing group breaks = break in normal… -

Re: Are you using Unity's ORM Map? How do you adjust the Roughness values ?
Some engine use Roughness (Unreal, Blender) others Smoothness (Unity). It should be written in the documentation of the engine, but is also apparent from the parameter name. Roughness is the opposite of Smoothness. So with Unity using Smoothness, it's to be expected that the result you get is different/inverted Smoothness… -
Re: UV Packer IPackThat

Regarding triangulated meshes and smoothing group problems with IPackThat. I did some tests with different fbx settings and a mesh with weird smoothing groups to check if there is something wrong with the fbx sdk implementation. So far i could not see any problems with the tool integration. The problem can be a problem… -
Re: Normal Map problems
Aha. You're onto it. It most certainly is a smoothing group problem. I just removed all smoothing from my wheel, left it faceted, and the glitch disappeared. However then it also generated a nasty normal map with fake "seams" along where the edges are in the facets. I'll have to find a happy medium ... will post screenies… -
Re: major baking problems please help
That's going to make texturing a pain in the ass. Just break them where it seems natural...along the corners. That means you need to have different smoothing groups wherever there's a seam. For example, make your wall with the door Smoothing Group (SG1). Make the wall with the window SG2. Make the roof SG3, because it's… -

Re: Advice on Jeep Model
Looks to me like your smoothing groups are messed up. Using Max or Maya? If you're using Max go into Edit Poly > Polygon Smoothing Groups > Click Auto Smooth The problem is that your smoothing groups are wrapping around to another section of the mesh. Auto smooth should get things pretty close. You can assign your own… -
Re: Stitched UVs and Edges
The problem is after baking the normal with one smothing group the object looks burned and the corners are not smooth, they have edges.... -
Re: Tryin to get some feed back...
do you know what smoothing groups are? they determine which polys on your model are smooth shaded and which have harsh edges. If you are using max, the smoothing groups panel is at the bottom of edit poly/mesh, and by selecting polys and clicking a smoothing goup number, all of them in the same group will be smoothed.…
