Ive been using substance since it was first released and I never thought of un-ticking this, thanks

Thanks, solves a few of the issues I was having with blender texture baker, plus I realize the diversity of baking applications such as bake lighting and color are another huge advantage for Blender outside of the regular PBR asset pipeline.

That was super useful! Thank you!

@@Tosmo I received the notification to your response in my comment above but that itself seems to have disappeared. Tried inspecting to read the rest of your comment from the notification drop down but it doesn't work. I know YT has a filter for publishers to block certain words so maybe check those. It's likely that they natively block certain words as well, who knows. I could comment each suspicious word independently and see if any disappear but that's far to tedious for my liking and would spam your notifications so I'd rather not even try. To be safe, copy your responses before posting or copy it while editing (edit to see if its been deleted) so that you don't have to retype everything. This is not the first time I have encountered this problem while commenting, previously I had to omit certain words or mask them by including numbers or symbols as replacements for certain letters.

@@stefanbachrodt7072 I'm checking through my settings, I and I don't see why it was deleting so many comments. I don't see how it could the word filter, it''s even deleting smaller comments as well.

Hi may i ask u a question? When I create a cage in blender (after I duplicate the low poly and the new mesh becomes the cage object) I simple scale along normals (alt S) but when I bake I receive an error, something like "cage and low poly must have the same number of faces". Using "statistic" I've noticed that scaling along normals changes the number of vertices, edges and faces in some cases. Do u have a solution for this problem? Basically I can't use cage for some objects due to this problem. Thank u in advance ✌✌

Yeah, Marmoset Toolbag is really all that; a great set of tools, and they have added more in toolbag 4. I'm still using 3 but will probably give 4 a try soon.

@@Tosmo Yep, awesome stuff. I have done hundreds of animations and try to keep on top of everything coming out but what caught my eye a few weeks ago was some Marmoset stuff that really blew me away (not as much as all the Unreal 5 rendering coming out last week or so haha). Iam trying to find that. I realize the push towards Iclone C4d Blender Max integrating with Unreal render engine but I still want to keep my system resources and hard drive space reasonable. Thats why Marmoset and others like that always interest me :) 👌

Hey, Thanks that means a lot, I'm glad it was helpful 😃👍

Hey, your welcome Glad it helped!

cage was and is still the best, and on some intricated shapes the only way to get a perfect bake. Been in the game industry for 30+ years and since normal maps exist, baking with a cage solves all issues.

Your welcome! 💖😃

I second that. I think my neighbour in the next apartment heard me.

Yes, I use that in a later video going over retopology

The Results with a cage can provide better results in some instances, but I have still had mixed results. However, Marmoset is still much faster, and the tools for manually solving warped details and skew are amazing. Blender baking still works really well. Consider checking out the Bystedt baker addon for Blender, it really helps improves Blender's baking workflow.

Check if toolbag 4 has udims, I believe it does but I’m not entirely sure.

It depends, I don’t think I covered it in this video but blender uses an OpenGL normal and if you have directx normal like a lot SP presets output then you need to flip\invert the Y channel (green) on your normal map or just export an OpenGL normal . That’s one common mistake.

It all depends on what you are creating. The Blender>SP workflow is mainly designed for working on video game assets. Creating a low poly isn't always necessary if you are just working on creating a sculpture, creating static props for animation, or creating 3d renders or concept art in blender. However, it can still be useful to have low topology and clean topology if you are creating something that needs to be animated, or it's too performance heavy to have at such a high density.

@@Tosmo so you would say that i should always only make the mesh as high that it would make a difference in its appearance and remove extra geometry if its not making it look bad,gotcha

@@Tosmo Also i wanna learn how to properly bake normal maps as i tried to bake in SP but its coming out really bad idk what actually is causing it,i triangulated the LP mesh in blender and went into SP for baking and the front side of the model looks ok but around other details,there are a lot of artifacts

I have used it before and it is still a very good, and very fast option to generate your baked textures.

No, the blender setup is mostly for baking inside blender. Just make sure you have your parts seperated, name, unwrapped, and assigned to appropriate material before exporting.

@@Tosmo But dont unwrap high poly mesh lol.

Marmoset is still by far my favorite :)

@@Tosmo thank you sir appreciate it 😊

True, didn't catch this but the 32-bit float I generated in Blender seems to function normally in sRGB mode for some reason as the others that were generated in external applications and non-32-bit blender images are all set to non-color.

absolutely, Xnormal is OG

Hey, I just noticed this, I am seeing the notification for all comments, but now that I check it looks like all comment recieved today have been deleted, including my own replies. I am not sure what is going on, I have not touched anything in YTstudio setting for a long time. Please reply or thumbs up if you even see this reply.

@@Tosmo HOW BIZARRE. Some comments remain while others vanish. Thank you for reposing your comment. I decided to tag you in another thread because I couldn't tag you on your 1st response. Left some tips in that comment that might be worth utilizing from now on.

Well thats good to know. I understand that Blender bake results will be improved with subd padding, but I haven't had much luck improving the elapsed time of baking by adjusting the internal render samples, or getting rid of aliasing with an external application. If you know how to accomplish these tasks I would love to see a tutorial, became it something I was unable to find in the documentation. As well as cage meshes (which never gave me any better result)

@@UsernamesHandle blendlet listen up, your software is trash and free software will never achieve anything xD free = bad
