Baking Question

Wolfer

hi there so i just baked my sword and really happy with how it came out but i have to ask, what is this issue that appear here when i baked it. It seem to be related to the ambient occlusion. Just like to know what this issue is and what I is causing it so I know what to do in the future and all.  Also this is baked in substance painter.

Hard to say for sure without seeing it, but its probably your high poly geo causing that occlusion. 

Wolfer

Oh and if i may ask, is it causing it by overlapping with my low poly geo.

Hi! I find it hard to tell from the images, ideally share your meshes (of that part).

it's most likely because the high and low poly meshes don't line up closely enough but it's very hard to tell without seeing both meshes. 

you might have some success using the name matching feature but i suspect it will cause other problems

Wolfer

That is actually the thing. It was the name matching feature that was causing the problem. I actually changed it to match by mesh.  One thing i did was go back and redid the sculpt on the small circle from the low to high. So that help match them up.  Still this was all helpful and if i encounter this issue again i'll share the meshes and by that I'll give the fbx if I'm correct.  Should I just drop them here or give a link to the drop box for next time.
