Hi all i have a small issue .im a beginner and im trying to understand the normal map baking and my first issue that i have is that my edges after baking smooth edges model to a hard edges model..

that my result after i bake the high to the low poly , and i checked the UVs and i think they seem fine
 i also saw in a forum that i have to use edge padding and i used it and still the same result

You need to use a cage/averaged projection mesh. What are you baking in?
