Learn how to bake high‑poly details onto a low‑poly model using a clean, game‑ready workflow. In this tutorial, I walk through mesh prep, cage setup, normal map baking, and texture cleanup to help you get artifact‑free results in your 3D models. Whether you’re working in Cinema 4D, Blender, Substance Painter, Marmoset, or a game engine, this guide will help you create optimized assets that look high‑resolution while staying lightweight.
This video was inspired by techniques from @RocketLasso / Chris Schmidt, whose breakdowns have shaped a lot of my own workflow. You can check out the RocketLasso tutorial that influenced this video here:

If you’re learning high‑poly to low‑poly baking, normal maps, or game‑ready asset creation, this walkthrough will help you build a reliable pipeline from sculpt to final textures.
