HELP with strange white spots

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Still looking!

The white dots seem to reduce when lowering the multi resolution mod to 3, but this also reduces the details.

I am beginning to wonder if the issue is with the mesh.

Yes, Ive noticed that also. I changed the multires but the problem persisted even when I made a new multires and quickly drew new details. I thought its either something in the settings or the mesh but then again normals and verts merge were fine. Tough one to crack but if anyone can do it, it must be you. 🙂

I’ve seen this happen a few times to others following the course. If I remember correctly it has to do with the scale of the object. Try scaling your object up 10x and baking again. Note: You may need to apply the new scale for it to affect the baking math.

(Thanks for the attention to this thread @adrian2301)

Ah yes here’s another thread about it: https://cgcookie.com/questions/15330-white-artifacts-on-pointiness

I’ve been going over this again today, and as I mentioned above, I figured it has to be something to do with the mesh object,

All the baking ducks are all in a line 🦆🦆🦆

Thank you guys!

What a relief to finally have an answer and I just tried it and it worked. On that note I want to say thank you for not just creating such an incredible workshop @theluthier but also for being so responsive and determined to help immediately (that goes for both of you! :). You guys are amazing!

Once I finish my portrait I will share it and also write a review.
