Retopology and baking displacement maps is a tricky task. Luckily Blender is very good at it - but there are a few steps you have to get right first.
In this tutorial we'll walk through a step by step guide to prepare your meshes for reprojection and create and apply a displacement map in both Cycles and Eevee.
