Mar 28, 2021 at 13:32 comment added moonboots so what did you do wrong?
Mar 28, 2021 at 13:24 comment added Georgia I got it to work! Thanks so much for taking the time to help. I've been trying to figure out what I''ve been doing wrong for weeks!
Mar 28, 2021 at 13:16 comment added moonboots Could you please share your file as it is just before the Bake step?
Mar 28, 2021 at 13:03 comment added Georgia Sorry, I wasn't sure how to add images.

Mar 28, 2021 at 12:56 comment added Georgia Im getting somewhere but this is still what I'm getting - I'll add a screen capture as a answer. I'm sorry!
Mar 28, 2021 at 12:45 comment added moonboots put the 2 pumpkins at the exact same position, unwrap the low-poly, give it a material with an Image Texture (not plugged for the moment), create the image, choose Bake Type > Normal, Selected to Active, Extrusion > 0.2. Then bake. Then plug the Image Texture into a Normal Map node that you plug into the Normal socket of the Principled BSDF or of the Diffuse
Mar 28, 2021 at 12:40 comment added Georgia I'm glad to see it's working but even with that change I'm still getting the same results :( Can you show me exactly what you did? I must be getting a step wrong. I have selected to active on in the baking tab, do you change and other settings? Ive put what my screen looks like in the answers.

Mar 28, 2021 at 12:11 comment added Georgia It's all deleted an it's still 79.6mb. Would I be able to share a google drive link?
Mar 28, 2021 at 11:58 comment added Georgia Yeah I've deleted everything that isn't the two meshes and the file is still too big.
Mar 28, 2021 at 11:48 comment added Georgia @moonboots This is probably a really stupid question but it's saying the files too big - I compressed it but then it's not letting me upload as it isn't a .blend file.
