Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my bake where this big teardrop shapes appear in the normal map (but only the normal map). Messing with settings like frontal/rear distance has done nothing to improve them. These shapes don't appear on the high-poly or low-poly mesh, only once I do the actual bake. Does anyone know what is causing this issue? I've attached images of the problem as well as my bake settings.

Hi

Can you provide a link to the high and low poly mesh files, I'll take a look here.

Here, I attached the low poly and this dropbox has the high poly. Thanks for taking a look at it!

Hi

I'm not seeing that issue here with the front and rear settings at the default 0.01

However - the mesh you posted was not unwrapped. So I did use the auto-unwrap at it's defaults on importing. I wonder if the issue you are seeing is with the unwrap rather than the bake.
