So, adding a subsurf (for rendering needs only) always help. These artifacts between light and shadow. Cycles does not like low poly meshes! It is the termination issue, you see.I think it is a little overdone, maybe a little less strength on the normal node?.So, on the left, the low poly + normal maps. then i exported the normal map (i think with flip v) and put it into the shader in the normal sockets… for the vertexcolor, i did bake the highpoly vertex color onto a texture of the lowpoly mesh using blender internal with a white materail on the highpoly and the baking option “to texture” and checked “vertex paint”… then i went down to the llowest level, switch the morphtarget back and let calculate normal map, with flip “g”. in zbrush i made a made a morphtarget for the lowpoly, then subdivided it to have more polyes than the original, and projected it. i guided the placement of seam by blue color… i imported lowpolymesh into blender. the unwrap is one big piece, with the seam at the backside. How did you unwrap it? How unwrapping looks like?įor this exported the dynatopo to zbrush, i did the lowpoly with zremesher, and unwrap in zbrush too.

So, you did bake the normal maps, where? In zbrush? If so what compatibility method did you use? I have shown this image in my sketchbook and michalis said and asked: Left is lowpoly (32k) with uv, normal map and a texture that contains the vertex paint of the highpoly dynatopo and thus can create the same shading effect. Right is the original highpoly dynatopo (1.5 mill) that carries a vertex paint which is used to drive the shader.
