Yet another normal baking issue
So I am making all the models (low, high, cage) in Maya and I'm trying to bake the normals inside Substance Painter. I have 3 texture sets with no overlapping or flipped UVs. The cages are made for every mesh by pushing the low poly verts by their normal till I fill the entire high poly so they have 100% the topology. I… -
Re: What (in your experience) gives better bakes?
You need a synched baker to your renderer as well, so all that talk of 'what is better for me' is all for naught if nothing uses the same math as the other. Many peeps are moving to XNormal for baking since it's faster and the math for the Normals is open, unlike some other software. But again, since nothing is synched,… -
Re: Visible Normal Seams when Baking? How to fix that
The entire low poly mesh is using hard edges and the normal artifacts appear around the perimeter of most faces. Bright normal map seams that follow existing edge geometry are generated by blending extreme pixel values from either side of a given edge. This type of normal map baking error is indicative of UV padding issues… -
[Blender] any guide on alpha map baking?
So, I was looking at this classic thread on foliage making. And I got a few quick questions. - How do you bake a polygon grass model onto multiple cards? Or do you simply bake them onto a single card, but re-use them creatively? - If latter, it seems we are "adding baked cards until a grass look good from different angle",… -

Re: Merging multiple objects uv into a single map and baking with xnormal?
hi there. about the uv map problem.. I'm not sure how it works in maya but if you merge the lowpoly together you can unwrap it onto one map. Maybe you can select all objects and unwrap then. In max this would work. The most basic info is: you have your uv / texture space and the unwrap of every single object may not be… -
How to align HP to LP for baking in Substance painter
Hello, What would be the best (easiest) way to align high poly and low poly meshes for baking in substance painter? My workflow so far goes like this: 1. Create base low poly model in 3ds max 2. Import LP mesh to Zbrush. Dynamesh -> Sculpt details -> Decimate -> Export (fbx) to 3ds max. 3. Import HP export to same scene… -
Re: Baking Maps from one uv to another reoganized uv
Never Mind i figured it out For anyone that's interested here are the steps i took Using X Normal 1. I selected my new model with new uvs as the Lo Poly 2. Set my old model with old uvs as the high definition mesh and selected the normal map as the base texture to bake and checked Base texture is a tangent space normal… -
Re: [WIP] Frozen Lake Environment in UE4
[WEEK 03/04/05] The Adventure of one cliff SCULPTING So, I decided to create a fully 360 hero rock for the smooth shoreline structures. I sculpted it in Zbrush, using mostly ClayTubes, TrimDynamic, DamStandart, and StandartBrush with alphas from Megascans. I needed to have a "smoothed by water" look but at the same time to… -
Re: Is this a bad UV unwrap? Baking Problems
When I used to do my normal bakes in Max (now I pretty much use Handplane the majority of the time), I would "bake to material ID". Instead of having to explode your mesh, assign different material IDs to the different parts of your mesh. I'll then apply a multi/sub-object material with bright colors corresponding to the…
