    It does create good stuff ! mostly I use it for high poly models I sculpt in Zbrush to extract AO from for faster process or you can convert one texture UV to another model like for example M4 textures to M6 Gen2 as long the model have the same poly count of course so with Gen3 the fun ends here

    Yes Xnormal keeps popping up, I have it but never used it, perfect for my needs. Thanks for the reminder. :)

    Huh, I didn't realize Iray used AO.
  • MEC4DMEC4D Posts: 5,249

    It even render Ambient Occlusion under Interactive mode , but what the means of using  AO maps under materials when rendering using Photoreal mode is to mask the areas of cavities to simukate the dirt-patina on metals or other materials

    This wonderful free web page service that made Normal Maps now makes AO and Displacement too.

    ...I am eager for vol2 to reach store and hate more than ever "DazSoon"

    I've not used Xnormal, but have used crazy bump, I presume do similar?

  • SzarkSzark Posts: 10,634

    xNormal is so much ore than a Normal Map maker but yes similair in some ways but a lot more powerful in what it can do. 

  • MEC4DMEC4D Posts: 5,249

    XNormal extract maps from 3D model not from photos especially best for very high resolution models and big sets . Amazing for hard edge modeling map extractions but for organic modeling I prefer Zbrush Normal and Displacement maps for the rest I go to XNormal .

    To have 3D accurate  Normals you need 3D model or 4 Photos with different directions of light what is not simple to capture , normal maps converted from picture are worthless especially when get about some volume and not just micro surface as 1 picture converted to normal can give you just info about height the same as bump maps .

    and btw there are not normal maps on the MR .. that are my new micro surfaces reflections distortions not used before . it is a game changer, even metal rendered with empty scene like sky sun looks great and less like just from the production, the retail price for this set is $35.95 as usual ...

    Also rendered with my new physical based camera as it allow me to reduce the gaussian filter to 0.70 for more sharpness and 0.50 for far away shots without jagging edges .. the color deep is fantastic and also can produce chromatic aberration if needed

    Me too. There aren't any coins left down the back of the sofa, but perhaps DAZ would consider accepting chewed-up catnip mice as currency?
