Baking Issues Polycount In a new scene load the model you exported into your baking software. select all the objects at once (do this from a scene inspector panel so you are sure you have everthing) then check out the uv sheet for everything combined. you should see a big triangular shell that matches up with your error. The polycount thread toying around with normal map approaches has a great discussion of how best to use smoothing groups and bevels for better shading. using bevels bevels chamfers generally improve the silhouette of the model, and can also help reflect specular highlights better.
Baking Normals Polycount I'm used to bake stuff cageless, just by checking the average normals option (sure enough when you do this you have some other stuffs to worry but for this piece it would be no problem). try to see if the average normals helps you out and again, play around with your front and rear distance. Here is how appears normal channel but the material instead look like this what i am missing? doesn't the material look ok? if it looks okay when rendered, then it's fine. the discontinuity of colors at the seams is merely caused by the fact that your uvs are not at the same angle near these seams. The brawl² tournament challenge has been announced! it starts may 12, and ends oct 17. let's see what you got! polycount discussion 237047 the brawl² tournament. Usually it's either smoothing groups or explicit edited normals. the later allows you to save on polycount although . the normal map bakes perfectly fine except for this area that has these weird artifacts, the problem is solved by adding a couple of edge loops around this cut….

Normal maps are meant to override the shading, but generally, yes; you want a good low poly to get clean, predictable bakes. if your low poly model also has smoothing errors, you've likely got some underlying geometry issues that are independent from how you baked it. Xnormal is very picky about the vertex order between a low poly and a projection mesh (cage), since every 3d object has numbered indices for each vertex. so, it's a good idea to try to keep the vertex order the same when exporting. just forgo xnormal, it's outdated.
