I just made an animation that has the background overlapping objects in a way that doesn't in viewport of if I render the frames individually.  I normally don't use forums and figure things out on my own, but I'm stumped...you can see it for yourself in my latest animation https://cgcookie.com/u/misteranimation/projects/robot-on-bus-with-noise

specifcally, the buildings in the background move, but sometimes a copy of them overlaps and stays still

Hello ,

I am have used Blender 2.80 and 2.81 Beta and  the Normal map colors are displayed different in blender then they really are. The screen shot was taken with 2.81 Beta (Build November 13, 00:13:34 - 125257758007 - Win64). Please have a look:

Not sure what the issue is here.

It looks also strange in Eevee:

About a 1/4 of a 2048 map... But that might be another issue. (Screen shot from Look Dev Evevee)

Cheers,

So every video took me roughly 4x to do (because I'm learning). So 20 minutes = 60-80 minutes :D.

How long would it take a pro to do this entire chest?

I'm guessing this isn't an option; given that there isn't a 'category' or obvious way to access them. This is absolutely baffling as you heavily rely on the idea that you have a record of videos that can be accessed as a selling point to entice new users. You only have two courses for 2.8 (One of which {Rocket ship} needs to be re-done) and it doesn't look like new ones will be coming any time soon. It seems I'm the only one complaining though, so I'll get to the crux of the matter. Can I suspend my account (End my membership without deleting my profile) until after a year or so? When there might be new courses? There are some other problems with the website but I just want to resolve this.

I'm currently going through the shading and lighting class and really love this format. Are there any more classes planned in the future or this is something that was tested and not beneficial for the cgcookie citizens? 

I am having an issue with baking out a single diffuse texture from my material set.

I have created an asset (kettle) that I want to be useable outside of Blender, so instead of nodes, i want to bake out the individual textures diffuse, roughness, transparency etc.

at the moment each material is applied separately to different spots and I have followed a tutorial on how to bake out the texture.

I have created a new image texture as the target and copied it into each of the materials making sure it is the selected node. I then go to bake and bake out a diffuse map with colour only selected.

However each time I bake no matter what I do only the grey fill gauge on the kettle get baked into the texture. there are no reds for the body or any other parts baked out.

I have tried copying the object and baking from selected to active (though i don't think this is necessary as the models are an exact match.)

Can anyone help me with a method for baking multiple materials into a single texture image?

Any help would be much appreciated.
