Here's my normal + layout : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22707688/normallayout.jpg A friend of mine came with a theory that somehow could fix it. This is a completly smoothed object getting baked, for most of it it's working great except these weird offending faces of sort. I baked the same model with a few more…
