Member smatthews1999 Posted September 10, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hey guys.. I'm really new to 3d Coat and to modeling in general. I am really struggling with some basic concepts here. I made a mesh from a brass figurine I have. All the detail is in the geometry and is about 3 mill polygons. The one pictured has "old copper" shader. I retopod my mesh and created UVs. I am trying to bake (with Normal per pixel), but I cannot seem to capture any detail whatsoever. My normal maps just come out flat. I have watched many videos and tutorials but I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Any help appreciated. TIA!

Carlosan Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Some shaders cant be backed, are you using latest version 4.8.22 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member smatthews1999 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 version 4.8.20 Can you suggest what shader I should use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Makketronics Posted September 10, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Since I am a newbie, I can share some of my struggles. When I baked, I realized that I have to enable the high rez and the retopoed models. Then, a cage appears around the model. Then baking occurs successfully.
