Random Maya Normal Baking Artifacts. Help!

K1NG W3NZEL

So I've been modeling a dresser for a level I'm creating and I've made a hi-poly model to bake. Every time I try to bake the high onto the low, I keep getting these weird "normal glitches" appearing in my map. What can I do to fix this?

I've softened normals and added a separate material to each model.

Everywhere else is baking out fine, it's just in those pocket areas and at the edge leading into the pocket areas. I've added more geometry and that hasn't fixed the problem either.

Quack!

Can you show the wireframe of the low and the uv layout of that inside area?

The normal map can't account for such extreme mesh normals. Set your edges to hard at your uv borders. Heres a mel script: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/499159/UVShellHardEdge.mel

Thank you EarthQuake! That took care of the problem I was having with another model also! I know next to nothing about MEL scripting, but that script targets the UV borders and hardens them? Is that correct?
