I'm getting an error that the BakingProcess cannot load a high-poly model.

It is as the title says. Even after baking, I get the error 【[BakingProcess] Highpoly scene was required when baking Normal Map from Mesh but could not be loaded】.

The situation is as follows
--------------------------
I have a high-poly model that I sculpted in zbrush and exported it in Goz. I created a low poly model by retopologizing the model. After that I did UV expansion of the low poly models and exported each model as FBX.

I added _low and _high to the end of each model's name.

The number of vertices in the high-poly model is 2 million. I thought the number of vertices was too high, so I tried baking the model down to about 130,000. The result was not good.

I thought that using UDIM might be a problem, so I combined the UVs together, but the results were not good.

I'm having a hard time finding an answer. Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks for the reply, Jeremie.

I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you due to work.

This problem was caused by a trivial mistake on my part.

The names of the low-poly and high-poly data did not match.

It's a shameful story.

Thank you Jeremie for your advice for me.

If I have any more questions, I may post them in this forum. I hope you will give me warm advice again.

See you soon. Have a good day.

2 millions triangles for a high poly mesh is on the low end side, you shouldn't have any issue.

What is your GPU model? Could you share a log file please?
