baking normal and ambient occlusion maps

Following my previous tutorial at cgtuts, part 2 of it was published about a week ago, but I hadn't found the time to post a link to it here until now. You can watch it here.

In this (much shorter) part we'll bake a normal and an approximate ambient occlusion map from the mesh sculpted in part one to a low-poly version of it.

I'll start working on finishing the scene this week so, hopefully, more tutorials will follow soon.

    Thanks!
    I'm going to start texturing the environment soon and I was thinking about releasing all the files once I'm done with the scene.
    But perhaps I could upload it how it is now if you can't wait.

    For now, thanks to you, making the scene files are pretty easy. In my opinion more interesting question is how do this in B25.

    Hi konrad,

    I haven't tried blender 2.5 enough. I use ubuntu 8.04 and the only 2.5 build that I found that works for me is from an old revision, and there are a lot of missing things in it. I couldn't even find the bake panel.

    Anyway I guess the process won't be that different.

Open Sourcing

Some days ago, I caught myself ranting while doing a test recording for a tutorial. I've been asked several times to produce a sculpting tutorial, but, since I'm still learning and still trying to figure out a lot of things, always ended up with the feeling that everything I could say has already been said. So, the only point for it would be to talk about the Blender specific topics. But there aren't many things about my work flow that are Blender only. I think I covered all the needed settings and the brushes I use lately with the Onion branch in the following pdf. Click the image to download the file. So, my rant was about how there is all this free knowledge online about sculpting, but, a lot of Blender users seem to neglect it because they only look for Blender tutorials. And that gave me the idea. Publish a list of all the videos and tutorials I've been gathering, and let everyone compile their own build of 'Sculpting with Blender'. Even thoug...

Everything should happen in the 3D View Following what I said in my UI proposal some time ago, and with Dyntopo having its options in the Tool Shelf, I've made some adjustments to my default Sculpt layout. Only the 3D View with an open Tool Shelf is needed to start sculpting now, removing even more unnecessary choices and making access to Sculpt Mode in Blender easier. Ctrl+UpArrow shows the full layout which contains the 3D View, an Outliner set to 'visible layers', and the Properties window. With this layout you can sculpt various objects without having to leave Sculpt Mode, selecting them from the Outliner. Here's a demo video of a few objects sculpted with Dyntopo and the current layout: We could switch a few more things to the 3D View to make the two extra windows redundant. Matcap or Material assignment. In past GSOC projects, a Matcap selector was coded and added to the Properties panel of the 3D View. While I liked it, and...

ape head

Inspired by blender's monkey primitive, I did sculpt a chimpanzee head past week. Hope you all like it. :)
