Artifacting I Can't Seem to Fix

coolguyslims

Hello,

Recently I baked a normal map for a hand gun I've been working on, but I encountered a problem. The slide lock on the gun has this black spot that won't go away no matter how I tweak the cage offset. I don't really know what else to do. Any suggestions?

Cage looks a bit weird, but I don't know how to fix it.

Thanks.

Cage generation can sometimes be unreliable with very extreme (ie: over 90 degrees) changes in angle. A few things you can try:

1. Use a custom cage
2. Bevel the sharpest edges to soften the transition
3. Slope the 90 degree edges slightly
