Baking to a plane

thelittleparish

Hello,

Pretty new to the 3d art world and had a basic question on baking in substance...

Been doing some simple tests baking 'floaters' down to a plane and im getting this odd issue in the AO map.

I thought it might be the backface issue so i set that to to never but still getting this darkinig issue.

heres what i got in maya for ref....

Any thoughts would be super appreciated!

Is it the big black area that bothers you?

That's happening because you're baking nothing to the plane there. 

Add a plane in your low res mesh as well
