Baker parameters
Global parameters
- Max Frontal Dist : When not using a cage, determine the maximum distance used to project the rays used to match the high-poly with the low poly.
- Max Rear Dist : When not using a cage, determine the maximum distance used to project the rays used to match the high-poly with the low poly.
- Global Normal : Shortcut to specify which space (DirectX/OpenGL) is used by the bakers that require/compute a normal map. Can be changed per-baker if needed.
- Global Anti-aliasing : Shortcut to specify which level of super-sampling is used by the bakers. Can be changed per-baker if needed.
- Average Normals :
- Relative Bounding :
- Per-Pixel Binormal :
- Ignore backface :
Texture suffix
Each baker will output a texture based on the mesh name and the suffix associated. You can change each suffix.
Example :
- Low-poly mesh is named cube_lp
- Because of the nomenclature settings, the script knows that the mesh name is "cube"
- With the "Normal from mesh" baker, the texture will be named cube_norm.png
