@Dr-Sassi great! Thank you! Looks like i was trying to export the builder not the mesher Now got it! ..

Hi
After i model with Volume builder how can i export as OBJ?
Thank you
Pina

@Dr-Sassi Thank you! have a nice evening to you as well

@Dr-Sassi I know how to unwrap but some of the OBJ that i need to work on are triangles and changing them to quads takes time and also removes the details..
sorry didn't understand your question which drill?

Thank you! @Dr-Sassi ,, yeah the thing i am trying to find the way without UV unwrap .. but thank you for all the help..Appreciated!

Hi @Dr-Sassi Thank you! for the file.. I am exploring the file that you shared.. I see that you did it with render option not the bake. Is that correct?

In this case how we can have a normal map like this? Same buckle is used for this normal map .. , someone did it in Modo, not sure how he did it but i know that he used this exactly buckle that i shared.. and he came out with this AO and Normal map . I don't think he changed the mesh type but he mentioned he softened only the corners.

Hi @smckenzie Thank you! for the information, will look into more depth but i am also trying to do the same for AO and it needs to be onto a flat surface

@Dr-Sassi also as an information after my previous reply.. , i am trying to bake normal map and AO onto a plane because i am going to use that image as a texture in another software (CLO3d), I am creating a buckle from fabric and would like to add the image as a texture( graphic) so fabric will look like hard surface buckle. That's why trying to bake the AO and normal map on to a plane surface.

@Dr-Sassi Thank you! for all the information. I attached the project file, included the plane that i created.

Buckle-Bake.c4d

@Dr-Sassi Thank you! for the reply and example.. Looks like you did with the bake tag. I tried but the image comes out Purple.. Yesterday i watched a video on how to do in marmoset software. Attached images how he bake down on to a flat plane , so this is not possible in C4d?
