Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue with baking my high poly to low poly in substance painter. When I bake my high poly models to my low poly models, I end up with surface cuts (sort of like bouleon operation) where my meshes intersect.
Images below. Here is my rough process.
1. Made model in zbrush.
2. Retopo'd model in zbrush.
3. Exported high and low poly models as OBJ files.
4. Opened low poly OBJ files in blender and UV unwrapped. Exported as one OBJ file.
5. Open low poly OBJ file in substance painter. Everything looks good. No issues when different objects intersect.
6. Bake high poly OBJ files (naming conventions correct, _low and _high).
7. When I select individual items I can see that the have sort of been bouleaned.

I'm looking for help on this. The issue is that the top carapace that covers the creatures head is going to be translucent. If it is cutting into the creatures head, the translucency will show that issue. Also, I'm pretty sure this isn't supposed to happen.
I've messed around with the ambient occlusion settings as well. See below. Last, I've tried using multiple high poly objects to bake and also one high poly object. Both options yielded similar results.
Thank you in advance for any help.
