not sure, never used xnormal itself, only the photoshop plugin which has inverted channels to blender so you may assume that xnormal will have too i think both of them (red and green) try inverting them both and make a render, try invert only red make a render, than only green and make a render, the...

Blender, Photoshop and 3ds max all have different default channel setup for normal maps, so if you put together bakes, handmade norms from PS and then render it, you need to make sure you have the channels flipped right each time you add something plus right setup for render. As Mason said, yours lo...

thats probably bacause i made them

get rid of the "double lines" thats gonna give you hard time when doing highpoly bakes you should try to make the polygons pretty much even. JRE posted pic of his mesh here some time ago, check it out, he is the best around here in modeling sweet looking lowpoly

Hi guys, for those who don't have me on facebook or don't see my posts. Another design challenge is up.

if you want to see all the renders from the competition in great details, check this album here

thanks everybody for the support!

you can duplicate the models in blender, select it, Shift+D and move it to new position. I released a garage scene, Benjii did a blender version, which you can find somewhere here on the forum or on his facebook page, not sure so you have a base.Than if you want to get a model into a scene, you need...

did you really search for them? i don't know the companies but it took me about 10 secs to find them by just writing the name from the photo you sent to google http://www.provenmoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/provenmoto-logo.jpg http://www.provenmoto.com http://www.hitcase.com/wp-content/uploads...

pretty good lookins renders man, you need to work on the materials a lot more. If you want some comments other that what guys already said: 1.the sitting render the helmet seems to have polys visible, if you use blender, select all polys and turn shading to Smooth, for the lens you need a material w...

oh cool, i was always wondering how its possible some of the models without spec maps looks ok and some are glossy as hell. You always learn something new aroung here, haha Still the spec map can bring a lot more detail than what you can get with material settings, sure its more "stupid proof" that ...

Jre, one thing i noticed at your wheels and I'm not sure you know about it... spec maps use alpha channel as "glossines map" more transparency gives you wider highlights. Your model is as great as it can be so it would be shame to not have the best possible spec map for it too. If you know about thi...
