Description: In this quick video, we’re going to take our newly retopoligized axe, unwrap it and bake normal maps for it. The normal maps are baked between the new topology and the original high poly mesh, which we export from zbrush as a separate object. In order to bake the normal map map, we have to first create UVs for the model. We’ll take a look at some of maya’s UV projection and management instruments and discuss placing the UV seams in the least noticeable way. Once the UVs are done we’ll proceed to the “transfer maps” menu and check out the options available to us, to bake the high-poly detail onto our low poly mesh.
