you're gonna have to explain what exactly seems to be the problem..the faceted look?

just curious...how far away from the viewer is this object going to bee seen? I'm not the most experienced person on the forums, but theoretically speaking, if LOD dictates anything to the contrary, if that's as highly detailed your HP model is going to be I think you just need to smooth the edges in your LP model where you don't want faceting. On the bottom picture you say low poly and high poly but it's the one on the left thats high poly ...right?

The low poly definitely needs smoothing groups! Apart from that I am not sure what your problem is, as you appear to have no normal map applied to the low poly.

I am a MAX user so I am unclear on Maya normal map rendering, however the models should intersect and share the same position/size/scale for the baker to catch the normals.

Otherwise you might want to explain further with less confusing images.
