<![CDATA[Washed out AO after baking in Substance Painter]]>Hello all ! :3
I've been grafting head, hands and feet onto a body from a different avatar and It's been coming out great but I've encountered a rather (minor) issue and I've been wondering if someone with more Substance Painter or Blender experience will be able to help out. So after grafting the body parts and making it all work in Unity put it back into Substance Painter for painting and I really wanted to keep the body details but the AO and Normal I get after baking them myself isn't as detailed and defined as the one that was originally there. 😞 Am I missing something? Have they been hand painted? Thank you for all advice!!! :3

One of the things you can do in Blender is have the normal maps active on the body's material then make a new blank image texture, from there bake the AO in Blender and you should get a detailed ambient occlusion map 🙂
