Normal Baking Issue Polycount Setting the max frontal distance and max rear distance to 0.01 .02 in the baking menu will clear up most of the artifacts, except where rings are almost touching. Blender5.01 description when baking a tangent space normal map, the resulting image is always baked as srgb color space, even when set to non color at setting. this causes incorrect gamma handling on the baked normals, which produces a c.
Normal Map Baking Issue Polycount Carlos lemos has recently finished his 4 part tutorial on normal mapping and kindly allowed us to repost it on 80 level (originally posted on artstation). in this article, read about what normal maps are and the process of baking them. Such wavyness occurs because of how many segments your cylinder shape has. the more segments, the cleaner would be bake result (at least 24), you can google about it on polycount. the quick solution right now would be fixing these lines in photoshop with motion blur. Yes. you should be baking and editing in 16bit, then convert down to 8bit for use in a game engine. When baking the normal map, i expect some visible seams here. in areas where you have a uv seam along edges with steep angles, like on the seams on the knotted cloth, i would add hard edges.

When baking the normal map, i expect some visible seams here. in areas where you have a uv seam along edges with steep angles, like on the seams on the knotted cloth, i would add hard edges. What you need here is a combination of cage bake and offset bake. the cage bake for the edges of the object to appear good and the offset for the details that sit on the flat surface of the object. I'm learning how to bake normal maps for hard surface models. already read the polycount wiki and watched a ton of videos which taught me a lot. You should avoid changing the uvs after baking the normal map, because rotating or mirroring uvs after baking will cause the normal map not to match the tangent basis anymore, which will likely cause lighting problems. I'm used to bake stuff cageless, just by checking the average normals option (sure enough when you do this you have some other stuffs to worry but for this piece it would be no problem). try to see if the average normals helps you out and again, play around with your front and rear distance.
