Then going a… -
Re: BAKING PROBLEM!
Yes, and your uvs can be overlapped/mirrored, but you need to make sure to offset the mirrored bits 1 unit exactly before baking. You don't need to move them back if you did it exactly 1 unit. The baker will only "pay attention" to what is in the 0-1 uv range. The only situation where your highpoly needs uvs is if it has… -
Re: Substance Painter Baking issues
I would guess you need to look into softening your edges, and then going through and hardening edges that have UV seams (as a catch all, though in general you'll only need to harden an edge at a UV seam that is around 90 degrees or more/ a dramatic plane change as it were). Secondly, I would look into adding some padding… -
Re: Baker: Convert Object to Tangent from Mirrored/Repeating Geometry Seam.
@oXYnary "I use medium meshes to get detail that won't be as warped (even with skew) versus if I had gone straight to the in game version. That and have you handed in a mesh to be told it's too high in polycount? Using the object space is a shortcut to this." It seems like you're causing more problems for yourself here… -

Re: New to baking normal maps for games objects
The only thing I would correct you on is the optimizing part. It's not about cutting counts as low as absolutely possible. Optimizing is all about removing any geometry that isn't necessary to achieve the look you want at the screen resolution you intend it to be viewed at. Sometimes you'll run into a situation where you…
