Mesh Baking Issues

cobaltchordata · Nov 2019

Hello! I am working on a character model in Blender, and I've noticed a few of the pieces (the fluffy bits/feathers that are a separate object from the body) are baking improperly in Substance Painter. I assume there's an issue with my model somewhere, but I've redone the UVs several times and I'm not sure what's causing it. I've attached pictures of the problem spots, the shading appears to be incorrect after baking the maps, with hard edges where the UV islands connect.

Let me know if you have any ideas on this, or if you need more information, thanks!

Did you harden the edges where the UV seam is?

I managed to fix the issue, turns out it was a normal error caused by the high poly model not having high poly data for those shapes. I baked out the textures with just the low poly model on the feathers and it appears to have fixed it. Thanks for your help!
