Ghostscape, The only thing im worried about with "loosening" the edges is that when i apply the map to the low poly ill get that weird look because the low poly will have a sharp edge and if the edges arent a little sharp on the high poly then it's going to have that blackness you get when you apply a really rounded edge…
Your edges are really tight to the point where I don't think your bake is going to hold up very well. Keep in mind this is a small object on-screen, so micro-sharp edge bevels are going to bake to nothing and add nothing to the final result. You have some good edges on the 'paddle' on the swinging handle, but the bevels on…
