Your edges are fairly sharp. You're going to want to read this to see WHY sharp hard edges are bad for your normal bakes. http://polycount.com/discussion/107196/youre-making-me-hard-making-sense-of-hard-edges-uvs-normal-maps-and-vertex-counts/p1
This is looking very good. One of the things of the concept i realy like is the camera angle. Sharp vertical looking down. You seemed to have softened that and made it less sharp. I was just wondering wether this is the final camera angle or if you're planning on exploring a bit more? Will be following this!
It's hard to tell from the render you've shown, but it seems like your edges are really sharp, too sharp, in fact. Might want to soften those up to allow for a better bake. Otherwise, I'm liking what you've got so far! Looking forward to seeing this progress.

Utilizing the usage of edge sharpness to give a medium polycount character to have controlled low poly features to get sharp and neat aesthethics. Looking for critiques and any…

Hi everybody, I have a problem regarding normal maps and shading in Houdini and in Unreal Engine when I bring my HDA. I will try to be as concise and to the point to explain the issue CONTEXT I am making a building generator tool for Unreal Engine, I have created a Houdini HDA and brought that into UE. I modeled some…
no.. having a hard edge in the middle of a UV shell has no negative effect on normal baking. having a soft edge at the boundary of a UV shell is likely to have a negative effect but is not guaranteed to do so. if you want a one size fits all rule (which you shouldn't because it's silly) - harden the edges of your UV shells…
