As you can see there is not enough amount of in the normal map. Skin textures are missing and blurry. I tried to bake+ normal map that doesnt work either...

Do you guys know why this happens? Thanks

What comes to mind immediately is the resolution and provided texel density of the map. I'd break the character down into more texture maps if you need those details, or reapportion the texel density to be higher for the face.

I've moved your topic to Technical Talk, where these sorts of questions belong.

It also looks like the UV has a lot of unused area. I would suggest breaking it up a lot more. You can reduce seams by placing the breaks along wrinkles. It can also help to split it like a shirt would be.

Ok, thank you guys! I will try to break it down into more pieces. Maybe that will work. Cheers
