The rules of baking
Hey All, So i've been modelling for about a year or so now, and although i've taken lots of leaps and advances this has all mainly been with poly pushing in Maya. I've done a bit of normal mapping using Zbrush by importing a low poly from Maya and then exporting out the more detailed map. But I'd really like to move up a… -
Re: Maya Bake Vertex Color, One Color Per Polygon
I tried using a Mental Ray bake instead and had the same issue. I've attached before and after bake screenshots with the Mental Ray bake settings. I used a checkered pattern here for the material - I was using a grunge texture (not procedural) before, but it seems to happen with any texture when I bake to vertex colors.… -
Re: Can someone help...(Hi/low poly bake problem)
So your saying I should reduce the low poly and high poly versions to their unique assets, Then bake the normal map? Afterwards run my symmetry modifiers.And AO bake? (I really don't know how to bake AO) Would i do my AO on a seperate UV channel flat mapping applied?Sigh i really feel like school cheated me.I barely know… -
Bevel not baking correctly in substance painter 2018.3
So ive spent the last day trying to bake the corner correctly on this model and i have had no luck in doing so. I have changed the uvs so they are stitched and tried making a seam aswell. map is 4k, padding is 32.

Noise grain in my Max Normal Bake
It's been a while since I baked a normal map in Max, so I'm not sure what's going on here. I'm baking just a normal map from a highpoly and my output file looks like it has a noise filter applied. Anyone know how to get rid of that? It also shows up in my diffuse base. I'm only going off of memory for the settings in… -
High Poly baking on a mesh with 90 degree hard edges?
Hello! Newbie at 3D art here. I'm also new to these forums, so please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section. Let me start off by summarizing my issue. Basically, what I've been trying to do is bake down smooth edges from a high poly model, onto a low poly model without Face Weighted Normals. The low poly mesh has… -
Learning how to bake in Max
As the title implies, I'm a student learning 3ds Max. I'm learning how to take the details from a high poly model and bake them onto a low poly model. I've never posted on Polycount before, but I visit this website often and regard it as an honest and true test of one's abilities as a game artist. With that in mind, here… -
Baking and exporting 8k maps
Hello guys. I want to bake 8k maps in Painter. I can only go up to 4k in the project settings, but the baker options allow me to chose 8k. However, I can only export the bakes as 4k maps. Google says something about Vram and bugs with old versions. But I got the latest version and can easily work with 8k maps in other… -
Re: Baking map - AO, lightmap, shadowmap - what is a difference..
From the past few years working on different engines (source, unreal, idtech, infernal) here's my take: 'lightmap' is a general term describing the medium at which baked lighting is applied: lighting thats baked to an image, or group of images, which are then multiplied overtop of existing geometry to create shadows.… -
Re: Retopology / high res / baking workflow for rookie? Bad Mesh + Many Softwares + Game Engines
Check the wiki on this site for a good overview. Game character modeling is a lot of steps. It could be described in just a few major steps, but each of those composed of more steps, like a Russian doll. Also, you don't have to make a high-res sculpt and retopo and bake. That is how modern AAA characters are made - but I…
