Substance Painter-Baking Problems

adrawingkidd · Sep 2020

As you can see below, I have a problem with my mesh after baking in Substance Painter I have no idea how to fix it. I tried changing the Max Frontal/Rear Distance and baking, re-importing the High/Game Res after making changes, Re-doing the UVs just the basics..Is there anyway to fix this?

What's your high res/low res look like in your modeling package? are they perfectly placed ontop of eachother at 0,0,0?

Yes, I have them all zeroed out and froze the transformations

Cylindrical forms are impossible to bake in low poly shells perfectly well. There always be some trade off

But in your case you could add support loops for baking and then remove them

ps. Actually in your case you could just make seamless unwrap ( with a single seam) and do geometry bevels being all a single smooth group + face weighted normals. Try to bake then . It shouldn't be a single issue.

Support loops for the Low Res or High Res model?

gnoop · Sep 2020

For low res model in places where it supposed to be flat 128,128,255 normal color. You could delete those loops after bake . It makes sense it you have split UV unwrap and hard edges.

I would still try to make chamfers, face weighted normals and tube like unwrap.

Hard/split edge with UV split or chamfer without UV split is a same amount of vertex calculations for an engine.
