SP 2020.2.2 (6.2.2) crashes when baking normals

[hdimit11]

Hi folks,

I've been trying to bake high->low and SP crashes at the normal map bake. High poly model is 18 million faces and low poly - 40k faces. I have turned off Live Preview and GPU Raytracing. I can bake a reduced high poly count (10 million faces) just fine, but I don't get the detail I want.

Can anyone help me out understand what the issue could be?

Thanks!

Try to decimate your high poly then, also make sure you use BINARY and not ASCII for the FBX.

Thank you for the suggestion. Decimation of high poly helped, but since I'm using Blender, the process took a VERY long time. What also helped was to export both high poly and low poly as .obj instead of .fbx.
