Re: Treasure chest - How to bake correctly normal and ambient occlusion maps
thanks for the reply the left one is a somehow realistic representation of the high poly....it has the flat look where it was supposed to be flat the right one is just...wrong in my opinion....i've modeled recently some props for a game and baking them with only one smoothing group just sent them back as a feedback....and… -
Re: Treasure chest - How to bake correctly normal and ambient occlusion maps
Right, I know its wrong and should be fixed and on purpose... BUT I was referring to the above example as a finished product.

You didn't do so in the example, and as a result you can see seams on all the places where the uv shell isn't split. There are a lot of preventable errors in your normal map,…
