I found out that for complex objects its better to use solidify modifier for low poly cage and after applying the modifier delete the inner portion of mesh. That way you dont need to adjust manually too many faces and the cage nicely covers the high poly.

PS with the new tricks in bl 2.80, you can make use of the normal direction checker. If you flip the normals of the cage and than go into that view. You would clearly see item popping true because the normals are Red and Blue. Its under Overlays > Face Orientation. Quite a handy feature to use for this.

Blender was giving me some difficulties with this that I'll explain here, including how I fixed it, in case anyone else runs into the same issue. I was following the tutorial step-by-step with no issues until it got time to actually bake the map. For whatever reason, I kept getting the error that the Cage object had a different number of faces than the Active (low-poly) object, and so it wouldn't do the bake, even though I made doubly sure that I duplicated the low-poly mesh and just scaled it up. No modifiers, no editing other than that. I was still getting this error though. Restarting Blender didn't fix it and reduplicating the low-poly mesh to make a new cage didn't seem to fix it either. What did fix it, is whenever I tried to bake it backwards. Instead of selecting the high-poly mesh first and low-poly mesh second, I instead selected them backwards and attempted the bake. Ironically, it went through, though obviously with unwanted results. Seeing as it worked this time, I decided to reselect them in the correct order and re-attempt the bake. Lo and behold, it actually worked with no Blender errors. I hope this really odd issue doesn't bug anyone else, but if it does I hope that my fix works for you too. Happy Blending.

I think I figured out a weird quirk with Blender. If you are clicking objects with the outliner, it seems that the object you click First is your Active Object, and it stays that way no matter what you click next. However, this is reversed when clicking the same objects in the same order from within the 3D Viewport---there, you will get the second object clicked becomes the active. (v 2.83a) I tried this until my eyes bled to make sure I wasn't going crazy, watching how the object names changed colors to indicate which was active vs selected

Fyi, these types of cages have since been implemented in Blender under the "extrusion" setting in the bake options. :) you only need a cage if your geometry is complex. Maybe even concave.

Unnfortunately, I have encountered an issue that makes the inflated cage approach as introduced in the video unusable. When I use alt+s (shrink/fatten) to scale the cage along the normals, some vertices and faces get deleted! My low poly has 66 307 faces, when I fatten the cage so that it covers the entire high poly model only 66 305 faces remain! As a result, when I want to bake it stops with an error that the poly count must be the same... Any ideas, Grant, how to go about this? Using "max ray distance" gives bad results, because the high poly sticks out from the low poly.

This technology man ahaha. like go fgures we have to build a cage around light to set up a paremeter. - But i was thinking. In reverse, couldn't you bake in the negative direction? So your HPoly is larger than your LPoly retopo mesh and you direct the textures on the Hpoly faces down, (shrinking them a bit also ) unto the LPoly Retopo mesh? So in essence you build your retopo not around or above your HPoly mesh but within it, so it is slightly smaller. That way there are no curvatures that don't overlap strangely or not at all.

Thanks! Not easy, but it's doable. Just make sure your objects are smooth shaded (rightclick in Object mode -> Shade smooth), or you will get weird creases, at least that worked for me on my mesh (a damaged concrete wall). EDIT: If the normal map is going to be displayed on a smooth shaded mesh it should be baked on a smooth shaded mesh; and vice versa: bake on flat shaded if it will be displayed on a flat shaded object. This because the tangent space basis must be exactly the same.

@@grabbitt Create a plane with one face without loops. When select all 4 verts on plane, the polygon looks like it was selected with box selection. I mean everything is highlighted (verts, edge, poligon) How to make only verts highlighted ? Like in Maya, Max.

been on this for the whole day, after this tutorial things have been going slightly better but there's still a weird issue where some part of the mesh gets darker and I don't get it.

time passes but I still didn't get the correctly baked normal map, it's either all messy (better than without cage tho) or simply doesn't update. I just can't imagine how everyone around do this correctly, if there's something I missing?

I ran into an odd issue when I tried this technique. When I created my cage and scaled it up, I lost faces. O_o I’m not sure how, since I’ve only used alt + s to scale and pulled out individual faces. But I can’t get the cage to work because once I scale it doesn’t have the same amount of faces as the low poly model. Anyone have any ideas why this would be happening? I’m completely stumped.

Strangely, I had this same issue in Blender 2.80, but then updated to Blender 2.81 and no longer had the same issue. If I had to guess, maybe scale by normals has a bug in 2.8?

Any particular reason you used Alt+S instead of just scaling the cage? Does it have to do with the origin?
@grabbitt
@grabbitt 5 жыл бұрын
Alt s scales on the normals if you have a more complex object it makes more sense.
