Need help for my normal map

[Skyzobear]

I'm a student in lyon, and I search for a "stage". I need to create some props. And for this one I've got troubles to create my normal map by projection, it appears dirty and all the "objects" don't appeared completely. I need some "professional" advices. Thanks

Hey Skyzobear..

What are you trying to make a normal map for exactly? Are you trying to add the ornate detail to that stove? Or are you trying to put that detail you have onto a low res model?

[Skyzobear]

I want to put all the details on the low poly mesh.

Can you post your normal map? Are the two objects aligned properly with the cage encompassing all of the high poly?

Can you show what the normal map looks like currently. Need more info to help si vous plait.

[Skyzobear]

Yes , I even tried to separate all the parts of the mesh to put separates cages. As you can see, there's some parts that don't appear at all

Without seeing how your high and low poly are aligned... best guesses to suggest is play with your envelope distances. Also try changing the search envelope to inside then outside. Usually you'll have to make multiple bake passes and photoshop all of them to get a clean result. Rarely do you get a clean bake all in one shot. Hope that helps.

ok I'll try, thank you. You're Character modeler? Could I ask you some advices next time, because I really want to become a character modeler to.
