Why does my Low-Poly model show up on my Normal-map bake? (solved)

Vegard_Klausen

On my normal map I got this wierd trace of my low poly model.
You can see it clearly on the bottom right islands (for the tounge) where there is a checker pattern in what is a really high-poly model, and the checker pattern is obviously the low poly model.

Ambient map without the odd pattern

The tounge model for reference

This hasn't really happened to me before so I'm not quite sure what I did wrong. I have double checked and re-baked after smoothing all edges in Maya btw

Select all the edges on the low poly and Soften Edge. Then render again.

I was about to tell you I already did that.... but I then I realized I had done the soften command on the group and not the objects...

thanks dude!
