Hmm, that's funny, I use the subdivision and bevel in exactly the opposite order :D Subdividing first and then beveling (with hardened normals). I tried to do it your way, but got a lot of artifacts, especially inward facing corners.
I'm having some problems with float geo...in substance it bakes the AO maps for the float but is not being able to bring normal information. Any idea why this happens?
You may need to adjust your max ray distance in the normal bake setting of substance, or check your float geo in Blender to make sure that it is just above the surface of your high poly mesh. Also float geo needs to be joined the corresponding high poly part. Other wise Substance recognizes it as a seperate mesh with no correspond low poly component to bake on to and ignores it.
@@Tosmo I was confused whether to join the floats to objects. Thanks But if i joined them they would also inherit the modifiers on those objects. Is there any way to bypass that?
I am selecting linked pieces of geometry by tapping "L", float geometry are parts of your model that provide detail and are not actually connect to the overall mesh but rather "floating" just above the surface.
Hi tosmo! Can we bake colors from high poly mesh? I mean what if I wanted to change the color of small nuts, because you have removed them from lowpoly mesh. When I bake the textures the nuts are only on normal map, so I can't change the color. I am using blender and substance painter. I searched and tried different ways, but nothing happened:(
Yes you can, from the options of which texture map to bake you can select diffuse to bake which ever color the high poly is material is emitting. The other option is to bake a ID map, giving parts of your model distinct color codes that can be color picked and set to a different material type in your texture editor. In some cases the workflow is a little different, but check out thorough bake demo that Quixel did on their channel for more details,
This depends on the game project of course, but you will typically create additional LODs as well. Many of the LOD0 models in Modern Warfare 2019 are between 20k-50k vertices
Modern software can handle up to 50,000 - A game like Arma Reforger for instance has weapons with 50-70 thousand tris. (Their previous game on the other hand would burn at 5-10k)
