substance painter high poly bake issue

rememba_da_name · Sep 2019

Hey guys im also following one of Tim's tutorials and having a floater bake issue and could use some help.

Before this issue appeared I had this issue...

which was caused by an ngon i missed and had to re UV map the grip. Now that i solved that it no longer bakes some of the floaters from the highpoly mesh... My previous substance painter bake looked like this:

Now it only shows up without the grips diamond pattern housing rectangle when I did not rename the object, translate the object and am using the same bake settings inside Substance Painter as with the first bake.

I dont understand why this is happening...

As you can see I have everything labelled correctly yet it still wont bake the floater...

I tried grouping the floater to the high poly grip like suggested but it didnt work. That suggestion worked for a different floater though so i dont know what to do now..

Also the Magazine is now longer baking the high onto the lowpoly and i never touched the mag at all since there were no issues.... Any help would be amazing

try these things;

- first fix your topology a bit.

- try triangulating inside of 3DSMax (good practice anyway so you know results will be the same no matter the engine/software)
- check to see if low poly and high poly match perfectly. Is naming absolutely correct ?

- are the HP and LP lined up correctly ?

- test bakes using a cage, or increase the cage from SubstancePainter

- make the floaters + high poly 1 object, reset XFORM and test.

- do a test with just the parts that do not work.

Showing us the UV's + normal bake results would also help. Cheers,
