THANK YOU I have been trying to find a tutorial on how to do this for WEEKS but couldn't figure out the right things to Google to find what I was after. This is extremely straightforward and easy to follow!

you have a gift my friend.... Not many people know how to explain this very well and you broke it down like it was 3rd grade science class. Thank you for making this and making it easy to understand. I was always confused as to why exactly we would want to do this and now I understand it's really important if you're looking to save your cpu some computing power on rendering, or just trying to downsize the size of the file while keeping the same details to later put it in a game or something that involves low poly!

Thank you so much, I've been searching a lot of places for information about baking, but you're the only one who made it clear:)

I just had to say, thank you for that great visual intro in the beginning on the steps in the process. Really helps me as a neurodiverse person!

Most tutorials I've watched on the subject have totally missed out on the cage part. Didn't actually know how to use it so thanks a lot.

Great video! This is exactly what I was looking for! I'm making a game in roblox right now, but roblox has a fairly small maximum tri count of 10,000, which means models like trees can't get very detailed. This video helped me make everything look so much better, since I could get so much more detail!

This just saved my life, i spent all day today, trying to do something similar and you managed to explain it in less than 10 minutes, thanks you just made my workflow easier

in 3ds max, the cage is virtual and is in the setting area; Is creating a clone act as a "cage" in Blender the only way to do it? thanks for your time!

thank you very much baking guru

after i bake the details into substance painter, how could i transfer the new low poly/high detail model back into blender

Great tutorial! Do I need to UV unwrap the High Poly Model in order to loaded in Substance?

Thanks for the clear instructions! Unfortunately they do not seem to work on high poly objects created by Meshroom. I tried it both with and without the UV Unwrap steps, I had hoped that I could decimate my high poly meshroom object into a low poly form then apply the baked normals but the results just don't look right.

nvalid cage object, the cage mesh must have the same number of faces as the active object i think its when i scale up with alt S because the uv after that are strange

Which min amount of RAM should I have to bake super detailed HP to LP? Because now when I am naking 4k texture from pretty dense HP, the image hasn't any info in it (just purple canvas), while all the instructions due to baking process are correctly followed along 😟

Thanks a lot bro I just one question, is there a away to edit the normal map, like suppose i want to make the normals more detailed or something like that ?

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

Bro 3D, thank you Bro

hey bro, 3d , i have a model of scifi robot i want to bake the buttons and more small patterns how to do that??

Thank you very much for making this video. Just one question though. Do you have to re-texture your low poly model if the high poly version already has textures, or can you just use the same base color image file? I didn't quite understand that part.

@bro-3d

Жыл бұрын

Look in this video I have only baked normals , so if you want same base color then bake the base color. Just change the bake type frome normal to diffuse or color i guess

So good

Do you have to unwrap the high poly?

I don't understand. I've done this step my step like 5 times. Recreated my entire project each time. When I bake, I get a beautiful normals map of my axe head I made, but when I go to map the objects to apply it to my low poly, the low poly doesn't change omg... literally two seconds later I figure it out... If anyone else has this issue, you also have to select the 3rd "viewport shading" option in the main window (top right). Then it shows the applied changes to the low poly.

I stopped chasing my own tail in these endless loops. I've never found a solution for baking or to export nodes. Nodes do not hold when exported as obj, fbx or collada .dae. They look pretty but unless it's a hard geometry type node that can convert to mesh, baking and nodes are pointless and if an insider knows, they are not sharing. That's their money you are messin' with. So what I do is only use Blender 3.3's built in material inputs. Anything in the material inputs holds on export . It's basically the sliders, numbers or images you can apply there in the materials tab. I use gimp to paint some areas and I hand paint others using texture paint. I can also paint on most texture images. You just have to be careful when going between gimp or painting in Blender because I once got confused and overwritten the wrong one that needed to be saved updated. For topology I keep a single vertice linked to my model because I like to see the face planes in real time on my model and the new layer of the model I am making. I make one material green and the other blue to see the new covering easily. It can get tedious and I don't use snapping but it works for me to make a low poly model after sculpting ect. I try to keep my face planes large enough so I can unwrap individual ones if needed to or I repaint certain things that stay to odd looking.I'm now into my creative process having graduated Blender as best as I can but I can't afford easy breezy add ons, I'm not smart on baking or nodes but I'm already making my first worlds for my graphic novel. I found a set of tools that works for me. According to my oldest brother I'm the village idiot but oh well.

I got a question, does the high poly Axe and the low poly axe have to unwarp the same way? meaning, If the high poly axe is UV unwarp differently than the Remeshed Low poly axe, is there a way to still use the high quality baked UV for the low poly, remeshed model?

No they dont. The high poly mesh doesnt have to be unwrapped at all, it's just the low poly mesh that you're gonna have to unwrap.

Let me try this 😗

This works great! I probably wont get a reply, but the only issue I have is that when I tried to render the scene, my normal maps wont show up, just an empty, sad, low-poly object :/

I don't understand everything because actually, on your tutorial, the low poly is in front of the details of the high poly and for me, I need to have it in back to have the detail. I'm trying on my highpoly character and it's insanely slow so each test is so long

"Invalid cage object, the cage mesh must have the same number of faces as the active object" i did have the low poly set to active and i didnt change anything in the Cage at all i even reaplaced it again and it didnt work

@bro-3d

Жыл бұрын

did you try duplicating the low poly object again and turn it into cage ? And also make sure that you apply modifiers like subdivision surface which increase or decrease the poly count.

One thing I'm confused on is what do you define as the cage is it as low poly mesh or a slightly bigger low-poly? Another thing I notice is that when you did it in substance the quality was a lot lower is that because he picked a lower map to back on?

Manually orienting an object to match another object's coordinates is amateur at best, very bad practice at worse. Select a single vertex in edit mode and Shift-S to move cursor to selected. Then right click object in object mode and set origin to 3d cursor. Do same for other object then either manually(but precisely/exactly) match coordinates or other methods. Otherwise, "Damn good job" lol!
