When getting started in 3D art and creating materials, the words "bump maps" or "normal maps" can bring a little confusion With normal vectors transformed to an RGB color component like this, we can store a per-fragment normal derived from the shape of a surface onto a 2D texture
When getting started in 3D art and creating materials, the words "bump maps" or "normal maps" can bring a little confusion Materialize is a relatively new application in the texture creation space Please, keep in mind that this is an automated process.
. The idea behind normal maps is somewhat complex but can be easily explained; A normal map is a texture that is used to generate detail in a mesh that doesn't exist within the topology of the mesh Normal map reuse is made possible by encoding maps in tangent space
. Made by Bounding Box Software, Materialize is an open-source texture map creation tool that you can use to create everything from normal maps to height, metallic, AO, etc maps and even automate the creation of maps so that you can batch create maps for a lot of images at once. The tangent space is a vector space, which is tangent to the model's surface
