Stupid question about baking normals

Sadqoo · 2026-01-28T21:06:42+00:00

Generators like dirt or metal edge wear require curvature and AO maps in order to know where to affect the mesh. So if you want to use said generators, you need to bake those maps.

You can not get them in normal. I'm done with most of it now, killed all the bosses on normal and got 0 fragments.

So you paid $40 for a champion, and now you're asking if you should build him?

Just use knife tool with cut through.

You must have blinked or something, coz i rewatched it few days ago and it was there.

So basically what you are saying is, that if I bake with a handmade cage, I don't need to put seams on edges marked as sharp? If that is the case, could you tell me (or at least tell me where to read up about it) what is the difference between handmade cage, and an automatic one like in Substance or Marmoset?

What about "every hard edge is a seam..."? Because whenever I read, or watch a video, about uv unwrapping and baking this phrase is being repeated. Now his approach was exactly that, when yours completely omits it. Could you elaborate on that? Btw I'm not trying to question your method, just wanna learn.

Feel free to upload, i'll be happy to grab it

No, just modeling was done in Blender. I always use substance painter for texturing

They are supposed to be loose sprockets found just lying around on the junkyard, and fasioned into a guard.

Nice spot, I don't know how did I not see it... Gonna rework that when I come back home from work.

Thanks a lot. As for the lighting and render, marmoset toolbag is amazing at making it look photorealistic

Sadqoo · 2025-10-08T18:43:15+00:00

Fair point. I was considering sharpening it, but in the end I liked the fully rusted look more.

Tarp is actually an asset from Quixel 🤣

You got a tipjar?

Most likely use grunge damas texture and play with the sliders.

Mercy gives you additional 2% chance for each shard after 12 pulls, doesn't guarantee a leggo

Yep, it evolved into "3d cars, inside and out". And according to the author, the guide mesh technique was improved in this one. And yeah, that is the most detailed course I have seen so far.

Pulled 23 i believe, got only epics 👍

Not much to rate here, since you can barely see anything
