Where to find hidden meshes in toolbag baking?
When enabling more outputs, be sure to click the material preview button again to see the additional maps. You can find various global mesh settings in the Geometry tab. Use Hidden Meshes determines whether objects hidden in the outliner will contribute to the baked result.
How are curvature and concavity maps used in baking?
Curvature maps are useful for generating masks for scratches, recessed dirt, and other effects. The Concavity output, also known as cavity, bakes a map of the concave surfaces, or cracks and pits. Concavity maps are useful for masking ambient light or generating texture effects such as dirt, dust and grime.
What are min and max values in toolbag baking?
If your mesh file is reloaded, cage and skew settings are retained where possible, so your changes will be saved as long as the UVs do not change (in which case you will want to clear the maps). The Min and Max Offset values correspond to the minimum (black) and maximum (white) extension points of the offset map.
How to ignore back faces in toolbag baking?
Ignore Back Faces ensures that faces of the high poly mesh which point away from the baker will not be recorded. The Quick Loader lives here too, and can be used by pressing the folder tree icon.
What does a bump map look like in Blender?
Notice the strange swirly mosaic tiled look to the middle cube. Those artifacts aren’t there without the normal map (on the left) or on the high resolution mesh that was used to bake the normals from (on the right). Here’s another example using an 8 bit bump map on a simple plane…
How to hide banding artifacts on normal maps?
If on the other hand your material is actually quite rough and/or grungy often we can hide these banding artifacts on the normal map… Above is that same central cube from before but instead of a very low roughness setting of just 0.05 here we’re hiding a lot of the artifacts in the 8 bit image with a roughness value of 0.4
