Baking textures from High Poly mesh to Low Poly mesh

kevingamerartist

Hi All,
So when baking textures/maps, you always want to bake them from the high poly mesh to the low poly mesh correct?

For the high poly mesh would it be advised that I make the high poly mesh in Maya, or make the high poly mesh in ZBrush?

Then would I be able to bring the high poly and low poly meshes into Substance Painter and apply the textures/maps there, and then start to paint any texture or details that I want to add?

Any feedback on this is greatly appreciated, thank you!

You can create your highpoly anywhere and using any method. It's up to you. Then unwrap your low. Bring high and low to SP and bake. For specifics refer to the stickies.
