(To manually add an external cage in Xnormal - on your low poly - check Use Cage, the under 'external cage file' right click - choose 'Browse external cage', you may also reset external cage from right click menu, using cage also overrides the Rays settings, even thoug they are shown).Įxport obj.

Using your software program (Maya, Max) to make a cage and export it as additional. also depends on Scale Mesh - for the ray casting - but always use SAME Scale Mesh for Default Mesh Scale and Mesh Scale BOTH on low poly and hi poly, then play with different Ray castings.Ģ. 1 - rays casting distance - broad (far) 0.1 - rays casting distance - very close removing small artifacts on bakes - use 0.1 (smaller number) I DON'T know if thats true, but i noticed on my normal map renders that Scale Mesh 1 / Ray 0.1 = Scale Mesh 5 / Ray 0.5 = Scale Mesh 10 / Ray 1 all those settings give me the same result. Tools - Ray Distance calculator (unfortunatelly that never works for me - even I played with those - it never gave me the desired results.). There is a set distance calculator you can use in Xnormal. Export your obj and bake with 'use exported normals' / you may also re-bake with 'average normals' and compare the results. Sometimes you can use the 'use exported normals' in Xnormal (on low poly setting).Įdit your low poly model in Maya - if you see DARK EDGES after applying Normals - Smooth Edges - correct with -> Vertex Normal Edit Tool (under normals Menu). If normal bakes look ugly (messed up) - try to Unlock Normals in Maya and resave lowpoly obj model for re-bake. Then you can use average normals to get them to even out over the surface. A quick way to flip the normals would be to use 'Conform' which will make all of the normals face the same direction and then you can flip them all together. Select your model piece - DISPLAY - Polygons - Face normals, to check in which directions normals are going. Good idea is always to check normals before exporting low poly OBJ.

One thing to consider, the hole process of normal map baking is combination of topology, uvs, geometry similarity, normal angles, xnormal settings and its all a mess if you have no idea how to do it. *Tip - when baking Normal Map in Xnormal - change the background for the nromal map from purple to black, and in AO - from white to red, so its ALOT more easy to select with one click of magic wand later on PS. You should do piece by piece baking (and combine the result in Photoshop later on).
