Other tutorials would be 20 minutes this is so awesome!

One of the best Blender channels out there. Incredible tips right to the point.

Hey buddy, we were talking on Reddit the other day (I'm the idiot who can't read and was praising your videos).
You offered to compile your eBook into a video playlist for me which I think is unbelievably kind. I'm saving up this month and hopefully by the end of it I'll have enough put aside to buy your eBook, I can't wait!

Thanks again for being so smart, knowledgeable and kind and sharing your information with us all.

Kind regards

I've been looking how Todo this for ages, but every video never seemed to get to the point. This was spot on, thank you 😄

Very cool! its similar to the "trim sheet" Blender tutorials. Great for keeping poly count low!

[joep]

Thats easy! Again great reminder (knew this approach already but forgot the details :)

[happy-oni]

This is awesome, thank you so very much.

I like small details, in blender animation you could model these but if you are making a game, this is life saver, or frame saver

outstanding .. Liked & Subscribed 👍

[komronyusufjonov]

also you can do this in workbench, workflow is just like this

you just put objects above plane and choose from matcap to normal, set a camera to orthographic (you might change values) then just press render)

Я пробовал вчера так запекать самому, чтобы не пользоваться чужими нормалками, это довольно просто и быстро

[sebbosebbo]

cage baking would be cool ..explaining the option on a simple object...
p.s. how to use the baking on other object..

[gfxfilms]

Awesome... but how do you connect to material. Also, AO map ?!?

[JoanVetulani]

In tile size in performance set it to the resolution of the texture you're baking. In preferences/system make sure only the gpu is set. In the render tab in the properties on the right set the device to gpu and voila, you're baking fast on the gpu.

can these wrap around a bevelled corner?

1) Low poly mesh
2) High poly mesh
3) Image texture (normal map) in Low poly mesh with NON-COLOR type
4) bake selected to active
