Re: Stitched UVs and Edges
You are correct, your object will no longer be seamless. If you want seamless, you will have to chamfer your edges, leave it all as 1 smoothing group and bake that way. The result you posted looks correct for an unsynced workflow. Some good tuts: http://www.handplane3d.com/videos.html… -

Re: What in the world am I doing wrong with my normal map bakes?
