Nice common knowledge people already know. And modeling High Poly's will always be more efficient.

Use Xnormal, it's free and works with PS. And crazy bump makes terrible sepular maps.


I use that and nDO2

Never ever use apps like these to generate Gloss/Specular maps!


ALWAYS DO THEM YOUR SELF!


In the case of normals maps always bake from a High-res mesh on to a low res one by using a baking system like 3dsmax's RTT. And if you are trying to add additional detail on your normal map by transplanting something from a diffuse texture use this \/

If you don't like the Render To Texture System in Max or Maya you can try using Xnormal which is pretty handy too!

Quixel Suite or Substance Painter is better.


Bruh if I had substance painter my life would be complete. Especially since I'm using UE4 a bit.

Its only 150 and you share the license AFAIK. So you can split the costs with a few guys so it's cheaper.


I bought them both but I've never used them. IDK what the difference even is between Painter and Designer..

I was told that you should always bake the silhouette of the high resolution model and then (if you want), use texture tools create the detail.

Of course I just would not touch any of these applications for specular or diffuse maps though...

You could also put all the details you want in the high resolution mesh.


Floaters can only get you so far. It's so rewarding to grab your favourite image of say an allen key socket, sprizz it over into Nvidia tools's normal map generator and then apply it to your texture space map.

Literally around a minutes worth of effort Vs. what would take perhaps 5-6 minutes for an experienced modeller. (which I am not)
