Problem with edges in baking

kate990 · Dec 2021

Hi, I've got some nasty problem with my low poly model. Some of the edges on the same plane dont smooth and they show later on the normal map that I'm baking in Marmoset. Got few of those problems where geometry is a bit different.

Things that I've tried :
- using script uv to smoothing groups
- setting smoothing groups by hand
- setting hard edges by hand
- playing with edge weight/ crease
- adding extra loops

What else i can try ?

Just edit / project from perfect source / rotate manually/ copy paste vertex normals in combination with hard/split edges till it's shaded well without triangle artifacts . Smoothing groups simply doesn't work in every case.

Yeah, any bad shading in your low res mesh will reflect in your normal map. Minimize shading as much as possible as @gnoop mentioned
