CONTENT:
- How to build a CAGE for XNORMAL in WINGS3D
- How to prepare / setup a LOWPOLY-MODEL and the CAGE-MODEL
to BAKE a NORMAL-MAP from a SINGLE HIGHPOLY-MODEL onto
multiple LOWPOLY-MODELS
- A quick WINGS-3D workflow with EXAMPLE
- From a BASE-MODEL to a LOWPOLY- / HIGHPOLY- and CAGE-MODEL
- How to split the LOWPOLY- and CAGE-MODEL to separated OBJECTS
- How to prepare the UV-MAP of the LOWPOLY-MODEL for the NORMAL-MAP
- How to EXPORT all MODELS from WINGS3D to XNORMAL
- How to load all MODELS into XNormal
- How to bake the NORMAL-MAP in XNormal
- Additional information about EDGE PADDING in XNormal,
Triangulation, Tangent-Space, Vertex-ID-Order and more

A lot of work went into the creation of this high quality tutorial. Well done!
RE: Build a CAGE for XNormal in Wings3D - Fonte Boa - 03-27-2014
I love illustrated tutorials: super!
RE: Build a CAGE for XNormal in Wings3D - Arg Arg - 03-27-2014
thanks a lot @MikeJ and @FonteBoa for your kind words, i appreciate it!
...and iam glad you like it!wings is such a great tool... and i always like it to see how people are using the features and/or develope workflows (like FonteBoa´s Youtube Channel)
this is my first project... to give something back to the community.
