After switching to 501 I never had proper normals.I switched 501 for the smoothing groups and it's supposed to make my bakes even better not worse.

It seems mainly I have problems on the edges,here are the pictures,please help.

    Oh,and also I figured out something that I have ray misses. When I assign the smoothing groups I have completely crisp low poly model.Isn't it right way to bake that? You know in modo previously we didn't have this option so we had to split the UV islands in order to get smoothing groups.Now I'm only assign the smoothing groups,thats all.

    Help please.Thanks.

    Ugh... I think this is just one area where Modo fails miserably :(

    You'll be better off baking with a cage in xNormal.

    See this thread and this script.

    Good luck.
