Normal Baking Problem Polycount But the reality is that what seemed to be a benign misunderstanding on your end or your teachers led you to create an inappropriate model and in turn this had consequences on your baking. The mental ray renderer offers an automatic bevel rendering effect called round corners bump that can be baked into a normal map. this is available in 3ds max, maya, and xsi.

As i understand it, any hard edges in the cage will cause "missed" areas in the bake; in this case, it's probably missing the nice soft edges on the high poly. try making the cage all one smoothing group, and see if that helps. It's just a common misconception that all meshes have to be in only one smoothing group when you bake normals. now, you could either use one smoothing group and throw in supporting edges if needed, or split it up into different smoothing groups.

In substance painter i am having an issue baking my normal ao etc maps. here is my model and uvs. For such a thing you don't need hi poly to low poly bake. would be sufficient to bake rounding corners shader only and then paint all extra details in substancepainter. Yea, but do you know what's causing the issue? because if not, you're just following a rule you don't understand. it could also come from an uneven normal blending because of the uneven triangulation sharp edges. but in the blender shot it looks like you have hard edges for the cap segments. If the shader doesn't re normalize the normal map, an ambient occlusion map can actually be baked into the normal map. this will shorten the normals in the crevices of the surface, causing the surface to receive less light there.
