I'm using this answer space for other Blender-SE Q&A pages that are are related to these tools. For instance, the question asked at the following page does not actually mention texture baking, yet th …

This issue can be solved by adding evenly spaced loops along the long axis of the model and then later deleting them after the normal map is baked. The problem here is that altering a models geometry …

Blender has lots of options texture baking. If one situation is showing up errors, there are multiple fall-backs. The most obvious issue people have with Object Space maps is that Commercial game …
