Normal map baking issue :(

Alyssa

Hey, please tell me what's wrong with my baked normal map. The problem is displayed on the 4th image, around a hard edge ring.

Image of the mesh and (Substance Painter) baking settings:

If it helps, here are the meshes (.obj format): https://mega.nz/#!DdxzhYyZ!yiK25uG7z_yqr8xJw_6Usw4QpIq8ilNyqqsk4gjFBbU

Thanks.

Try straightening the UVs and increasing the dilation width.

Neox

+1 to straightening your uvs

aside from that, is there a soft transition between the base and the next segment in the high? if not, you could bake them in seperate passes. I think what you see is the rays hitting the surface of the base

Straighten your UVs for sure

But

That's pretty much what I'd expect - does it look OK at a sensible viewing distance?

If so it's fine

Other than straightening/making MUCH more use out of your UV space, that gap that you've circled is simply due to your low-res mesh being a bit further out/larger than your high res mesh.  Give your low-res mesh another look at how far it's faces/edges are from the high-res mesh underneath
