Alembic Geometry Cache Normals problem.
Hi, I have an alembic file that I've exported from houdini, and as a material I'm using textures from substance painter, using which I baked on high res detail to a normal map. This works fine on a single static OBJ version of the mesh, but when I apply the same material to the mesh animated in the alembic cache, the… -
Re: normal map for rough wood
you want a tiled texture? You want a model of fence of plank wood? Well, take a look at www.cgtextures.com and go to wood and try finding out yourself a very good source texture for what you want, and then make the normal map in xnormal or crazybump. I'm sure you can do cool stuff with it. -
Strange Normals using a Material Instance
ok so i'm getting this really strange result when trying to use a normal map in a material instance: the material on the right is just the normal map plugged into the normal slot as usual and works fine. the one of the left is a 2d parameter plugged into the normal and then uses the same normal map. the weird lighting is… -
Re: What's the Difference Between Normal & Bump Mapp'n
First off, there are two types of normal maps. Tangeant space normal maps (which are the bluish hued most of us are familiar with) basically represent an X,Y offset from the face normal on the pixel level in the red and green channel. The blue channel is, for the most part, ignored. Then there are world space normal maps,… -
Re: [MODO] xNormal Kit - WIP
Yeah...but what I meant was you can render normal (TS), Height, Base, AO etc. in one pass. If you want to render Object Space, you have to uncheck normal TS and then bake again. It would be nice to render object space, along with normal TS, height, AO etc. in the same pass. That's what xNormal batcher does and it's a nice… -
vertex lighting + normal maps ?
Hey there ! I was wondering how UDK or other cool engines manage static vertex lighting+normal maps. I've never really put my hands into those beasts, lack of time. So i get the whole directionnal lightmap (or radiosity normal map) thingy, in order to make normal maps work on lightmapped object. But what if they are lit… -
Flat normals destroying shading?
So i've been trying to bake some normals, it didn't quite work out, i tried all kinds of hacks and workarounds until i figured out: even if i apply a flat normal map (128,128,255) marmoset will completely destroy my shading? how is this even possible? how am i supposed to get a descent looking normal map in marmoset now? i… -
Quest for the Normal Map
I have a question for all the game dev's What do you think about artists using the photoshop normal map plugin to simulate a high poly model. Is this acceptable in the industry? for example a wall texture. Do you a. Make a really high poly wall and project the normals onto a lower wall. b. Make a height map in photoshop… -
Painter not exporting mesh normal map with layers maps.
Painter 2019.1.2 Exporting my textures exports only normals from layers and not the base normal. I have to use OpenGL. The normal channel is active and the Normal mixing is set to Combine. Project configuration is set to Normal Map Format: OpenGL. Any help appreciated. -
How would I add a bevel in normal map only?
I’m modeling a low poly bed wood frame, and I would like to add a edge bevel in the normal map only. If the wood frame was perfectly straight I’d use a trim sheet for the normals to achieve that perfect 45 degree bevel. However, my bed frame is curved in a wave shape. How would I achieve a normal map bevel for something…
