I have been recently trying to bake a height map in substance painter but have been getting unexpected results. It appears to be capturing the sculpted details but also adds additional details that appear to match the wireframe of the lowpoly.

Hi,

This is normal as the height bake is designed for displacement, I would recommend going through this thread for a better understanding: https://polycount.com/discussion/comment/1947155/#Comment_1947155.

Thank you,
Kind Regards,
