I've now gotten to the step in my workflow to fix the normals of my models. When I pull the FBX back into maya the smoothed edge between parts returns to a seam. Here is my…
First, I don't think hi-to-lo baking is "standard" for characters. It is what most tutorials show, but there is plenty of working artist here who don't use that as their go-to workflow.
