c4d newb question: baking 1 pixel off

[JamesMK]

Interesting.

However, you'll always want to use a reasonable pixel border value > 0 though. Otherwise you'll get glitches/visible seams when objects appear far away from the camera, due to the way textures are interpolated.

Out of curiosity, how does the mismatch look if you set supersampling = 2 for instance?

same problem with pixel border = 5. you can see the problem just gets worse, because instead of continuing the correct border color, it puts 5 pixes worth of the wrong border color.

will check with supersampling in a sec. but this should not happen with a supersample or not.

Here is the result with 1 supersample. Render take considerably longer of course and the problem still exists. The supersample kinda confuses seeing the problem buts its still there..

last bump of this one. Im just making a box and baking it with the new sun/sky, anyone should be able to reproduce it. Can there either be a fix for this or should I be doing something different? Not sure what I could do wrong, Maxon has made baking pretty straight forward..

try Options Relax : 0

Are you using the demo version? This works fine for me in the full version.

[awnold]

yea, V11 savable demo. just did it again to make sure..

create box -> make editable -> use paint setup wizard (check for good UVs)

create sky -> turn on GI

render -> bake texture -> (settings as shown above) -> bake surface color

apply bake texture to box

got the exact result shown above. pixels off..

did you try Options Optimal mapping relax 0 ?

[JDP]

Well I tried exact same settings as you, I do get a slight mismatch with no pixel border, but setting it to 2 clears the issue. Probably a bug in the demo.

[awnold]

did you try Options Optimal mapping relax 0 ?


yea but I dont re-do UVs when baking. but yea when I set it up in paint wizard, relax is 0


I do get a slight mismatch with no pixel border

this is the whole point of the post, there should be no mismatch.

if its impossible to get bakes that match UVs without extending a pixel boarder then I will take what I got, but like said in post #2, extending the pixel boarder just extended the wrong color.
Just to put this in perspective, yea the the system is sweet, and I could manually fix the UVs in about 2 seconds, im just wondering if it was intended or limited to work this way..

thanks for taking a second to diagnose this!
