Nerf Gun High-Poly Renders and First Bake

This week I worked on finishing up the high-poly, and did some beauty renders of it this time inside of Marmoset. I also began working on the low-poly and UVs and did my first test bake on the model.

High-poly Renders:


Almost Ortho? (too bad Marmoset doesn't support ortho cameras!) Remove ground shadow on this one?


Another shot at high-poly. Additional details will be added once inside Substance Painter.

First Bakes:


First initial bake. AO, normals, thickness, and even albedo color from the materials being used on the high-poly. As you can see, I am having some color bleeding onto some areas. Probably from not using a cage. I am hoping when I bake using the naming convention method in painter will clean up some of this. Or I will either edit the UVs or clean it up in Painter. Also you can see I tried to bake those screw holes into the body of the gun on the low-poly without creating geo for it. Bad mistake... but I think I can fix it in Painter. 


Another image of the initial bake, this time without the color map.

Wire-frames:
