Advanced Member FreezeFrame Posted June 19, 2014 Advanced Member Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) I'm merging a retopo in the paint room. Normal map per-pixel. I want to bake the details from the mesh onto the normal map. So when I merge, no details on the normal map and the ambient is all black. Know a little about baking but not much.......The details of the high poly mesh are suppose to get baked to the normal map, so it adds fine details for the low poly and saves on poly count.......right? Not baking it the right way. IDK what I'm missing here...... Edited June 19, 2014 by FreezeFrame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Malo Posted June 19, 2014 Contributor Share Posted June 19, 2014 Uncheck -> Use names correspondence for baking Or Use the same names for voxel layers and retopo layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advanced Member Ghastly Posted June 19, 2014 Advanced Member Share Posted June 19, 2014 This has started happening to me now too. I've tried baking with it checked and unchecked and no matter what all I get is a jet black mesh in the paint room. These are my settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Ghastly Posted June 19, 2014 Advanced Member Share Posted June 19, 2014 It also seems to take only 2 seconds to do the back instead of a minute or so like usual. This just suddenly started happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Ghastly Posted June 19, 2014 Advanced Member Share Posted June 19, 2014 D'OH! Figured it out. I was setting the inner diameter of the bake to negative essentially making it the same as the outer bake diameter. Sleep deprivation is a cruel mistress.
