Maya Bump Map stepping - how to fix?
Hello, Been visiting Polycount forums for quite some time now. I've been playing with Maya for the last 5 years or so, but I am still a major beginner. I am having some problems with Bump Map stepping. See below: Scene details: 1x cube 50x50x50 resolution 1 point light Maya Software, high quality 128x128 Color and spec map… -
Maya XGen: What's the best way to smooth guide tips to make hair less bumpy?
I have here a flat top hair style with all the modifiers turned off so it's just the base xgen. I'm attempting to smooth the top part but each guide adds a little hill. At first I had spare hair guides, which is usually the best way to go, but this only made the bumps bigger. Each guide I placed just made the hills… -
Normal Maps + Bump Maps
Hey I just want to address mudbox's new features, specifically, combining normal and bum maps into one normal map. This is a great feature, because it allows you to combine path precision brushes to normal map detail specifically for video games or any other 3d application. Here are a couple examples of the differences.… -
Re: How to create a realistic landscape
@Noren Thanks for the information — it's all very useful. From an aerial perspective, the landscape is quite flat. On the ground there are a few subtle bumps and variations, but not much at all. I won't remove it now, as I've already positioned the roads based on the height map, but it's definitely a good suggestion for… -
Re: Clayform Sculpting App
i am just using metal01 in zbrush for checking bumpyness, or a matcap of a sphere with blinn from maya, best material imho, very unforgiving attached is the mesh, just subdivide it a few times in zbrush, i guess your app has smooth shading so might not be needed to see the bumps, it might be some creases on there from my… -
Re: bump map vs normal map?
In doom3 they use extra bump maps in combination with the normal map to do fine details, you can also overlay a bump map on your normal(after converting to normal with nvidia's plugn) and get the same result with only one map... but the way id does it it would be a little easier to edit your bump map. The most comon… -
Maya - Normal VS bump map issue
Hi, up to this point I have been working with greyscale bumpmaps. They work great in Maya software and mental ray renders. For importing into game engines I have been converting all of my bump maps into normal maps. This is the first time I have spent extensive time messing with Normals. I have tried using CrazyBump as… -
Re: Bump Vs Normal Maps
So theres really three things: 1. Greyscale bump map 2. Normal map generated from bump map 3. Normal map baked from high poly mesh. 1 and 2 are essentially the same thing at the end of the day. 3d engines/renderers can not render a "bump map" without first converting it into a normal map (if your renderer takes a grayscale… -
SOLVED: DDo not generating bump map
I wanted to generate maps using this material: http://puu.sh/fqQt1/21b780e863.jpg It has a nice bump in the preview but when I use it the bump is just plain grey. The material also has no bump in the preview in 3DO or in UE4. Is there any setting to enable bump generation or am I doing something wrong? Thanks. -
Raytracing bump map
Does anyone know how to go about setting up a Raytrace material in Max to render with a bump map? I've followed Max's documentation which simply states that all I need to do is place a bump map in the bump slot, which I did and achieved NOT sexy results. There's no bump showing up on the material in the editor and it…
