This is an excellent overview for coming over from 3ds max where they use smoothing groups.

Excellent video, sir! Another hidden gem on the internet. I'm glad I found it. But what is this abstraction called normal? The pixel/byte range is from 0 to 255, I assume. If I want to normalize this, I could scale it to a range of 0 to 1 or -1 to 1. If we consider r as representing X, g as representing Y, and b as representing Z, it makes sense for the range to be -1 to 1. But even then, it's still a valid value. What technique are you using to determine if a pixel value is an error? Are you comparing it to its neighbors? Aside from my naive assumptions, could we just ignore the negative b/z values because we're working in 2D? Negative values would be impossible, right? We would only need to fill r and g for each pixel, with values of -1, 0.5, 0.5, and 1, then interpolate it with neighboring pixels towards a flat surface. Is that what the error function checks for?

@ThePassiveAggressor Ай бұрын

Great question! The error fetching function checks to see if the normal has a length of 1 +/- a small epsilon value. Normals should always have a vector length of 1

@sayyidj6406 Ай бұрын

@@ThePassiveAggressor Ah, I see. each of the x, y, and z components must proportionally add up to a length of 1 (100%) to accurately represent the direction of the normal in each pixel. If the length is 0 (like (0, 0, 0)), it means there is no direction. If the length is 3 (like (1, 1, 1)), it means the vector is incorrectly representing three full directions, which indicates an error. There's no need to check the neighbors, we just need to ensure that each vector's components are proportionally contributing to the overall direction. Thanks for the clarification!

@sayyidj6406 Ай бұрын

but still how you guess the correct direction? i mean, if someone make one pixel black, that mean no direction at all

@ThePassiveAggressor Ай бұрын

@@sayyidj6406 That is exactly right :)

@ThePassiveAggressor Ай бұрын

@@sayyidj6406 Remember the colour of a pixel is often not related to its direction, you need to know what the pixel represents to guess the direction

Thank you so much. Until now, it was so inconvenient compared to Unity's snap that people who deal with unreal thought they didn't use the snap function. It's amazing that Unreal neglects this problem at 5.5.

6:14 wouldn’t you only need 2 normal maps? One for the horizontal component of the normal and the other for the vertical component of the normal?

@ThePassiveAggressor 3 ай бұрын

Yes, you can do it with 2 but they would be a little harder to draw.

@NorthernWhisper 4 ай бұрын

This is a very big ask but I figure I would try (also hey, I am back 4 years since last time :P) There is a "no-code" game engine called Gdevelop that is open source and very user friendly. It's got quite a lot of features, but lacks support for normal maps etc. It doesn't seem to be on the current roadmap and since you seem to have good knowledge of normal maps, do you think you could create a normal map extension for gdevelop? :D It would really bring the engine to new heights imo. It's the only critical feature it's missing (for me).

I try to use that on digitizes sprite, but using 3D render with baking is more accurate, but im sure on a Shinobi X or Mortal kombat kind of game it could look fantastic if the lighting are well made.

Heya! Really interesting tutorials. Do you know anything about 3D to pixel art? Something similar to what Dead Cells did but more artistic probably. Just curios if there are different ways to achieve this. Basically I have an idea to have textured 3D model. Texture is just regular texture. What I want to achieve is to show this as pixel art. Tricky parts would be to make it look artistic (and to have color consistency over animation) and to react to light.
