jakerupert Posted October 21, 2018 Posted October 21, 2018 Hi there, the new forum design looks great! I didnT find a section for techincal questions though, so i put it here. and wheres the whats new button now? I am still on AM 15h and discovered surfacebaking bbut: sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Any ideas what factors might influence that. Ram and grapics and render power shouldnt be the problem. Maybe some oldtimeuser has made similar expiriences and found the solution? Thanks for any help Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 21, 2018 Hash Fellow Posted October 21, 2018 Hi Jost, The "Activity" tab in the forum will get you a list of most recent posts. Quote sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. Can you say more what you mean? Quote
jakerupert Posted October 21, 2018 Author Posted October 21, 2018 yes, when I rightclick on some of my models and bake surface it works like a charm giving nice imagemaps. Then when I do the same again (sometimes even with the same model) it rotates endlessly giving no result even after waiting many minutes, seems the programm is idle and i have to retart A:M. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 21, 2018 Hash Fellow Posted October 21, 2018 I recall there have been some bug fixes to surface bake since v15. I don't know if that was one of them. In a quick test in v19 I was able to bake and rebake without a freeze. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 21, 2018 Hash Fellow Posted October 21, 2018 I'll note there is a SHIFT option for Bake Surface. Hold the SHIFT key when you select Bake Surface to get an options panel. I don't know if this feature was in v15 yet Quote
jakerupert Posted October 22, 2018 Author Posted October 22, 2018 yes, there is something similar in there. But doesnt help either. I am a bit reluctant to update, because my 15h is not just bound to one computer and not subscripton based. Maybe it would make sense though just for the purpose of surfacebaking... Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted October 22, 2018 Hash Fellow Posted October 22, 2018 For the moment, I would suggest doing a PRJ save before you bake. and then if you decide you need to re do it again you can go back to the unbaked version. When you rebake, what are you doing about the existing baked decals? Quote
