Modo Texture Baking Issues

jose.fuentes

Im trying to bake from 1 mesh to a low poly mesh, and I am getting the type of results that I would like.

Source Mesh:
Not super high poly, but set up to be smoothed, with materials in a lit environment 

Low Poly mesh - modeled and UV'd

I have made sure to up my render sub divisions, But I'm still no super pleased with my out put, I am finding my self using the bake as a starting point, and end up hand painting on top to get the results that I am looking for.

Any one have any thoughts?  Faced similar issues?



Below is the baked texture

What aspect of the bake are you not satisfied with? It seems to be capturing the "metallic" look as well as the beveled edges.

if you look at the bottom right of the texture  there is a lot of banding and random black spots in the cylinders
