@lexicolopolis Try Non-Color and see the difference, should be noticeable  

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky Ah sweet thanks! Even though I had it saved form earlier it was greyed out til I saved again. 

[Carlo]

@lexicolopolis Good luck with sculpting, there are many pieces to sculpt….. 😅

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky ….so many… Thats why I was trying to figure out a fast method that looked alright. Just drawing lines with mask is probably where I’m heading for all the boards. I only have like… 20ish objects to sculpt by Sunday night. lol

@lexicolopolis @lucky This subthread makes me happy: From the quality of the sculpting to the troubleshooting between peers. YOU MAKE THIS PROJECT GREAT 🤝

[Mona Loren]

@lexicol , @lucky agree with Kent. Great job with the troubleshooting and helpful as well. golden stars for you 😉

I am so busy getting my sculpting under control that my brain  is already blurry.

[Beau Kromberg]

@theluthier @lucky Well now I can’t figure out how to get multires to smooth UVs. I did it somehow ONCE, and now it refuses to do it. Is there something special you have to do in order to get the UVs to smooth with the modifier?

@monaloren Oh, my brain is melted. Once I get this working right and I can just sculpt and bake without issues I’ll feel soooooo much better. 

[Carlo]

@lexicolopolis why would you want to smooth the UV? Can you post some images?

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky The deformation stretched at 2 of the seams. Earlier I clicked through the smooth UV options on the Multires modifier, and it was responsive, and fixed the issue. So I was jazzed and decided to sculpt a bit more. Reloaded back to the file where I hadn’t changed anything, sculpted, and baked, and I can’t get it to work again. 

[Carlo]

@lexicolopolis My workflow is sculpt highpoly, match lowpoly to the highres. UV unwrap the lowpoly, put seams on every hard edge. Bake maps and your done. I don’t use the option smooth UV.

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky im not exactly sure why its warping those two spots. It’s just frustrating because i definitely toggled those settings and it changed my bakes. But now its not changing the bakes. Which is mystifying. I probably just need sleep. 

[Kent Trammell]

@lexicolopolis Look in the advanced tab of the multires modifier: 

*I believe the settings are greyed out if no UVs are created.

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky Ok I figured it out.  In 2.92 i think theyre defaulted on anyway.  But you have to have view to 1 for them to do anything.  Was baking at 0 view.

[Beau Kromberg]

@lucky Ffs, that shouldnt have been as hard as it was. lol

[Beau Kromberg]

@theluthier They’re actually just always greyed out for me if I have a subdivision. Even if they’re working. And you can change them while they’re greyed out. It’s bizarre. They also apparently removed the option to toggle between simple and catmull-clark with 2.92. But from what I’ve read multires in Blender has been a pretty big mess until recently. So this chaos doesn’t surprise me. 

But the problem was just that view has to be 1 not 0, or the smoothing settings don’t get used.
