Need help fixing a Retopo mesh

[jon.larsen]

So I am retopologizing an asteroid i made.  I used quad draw to do so.  I must have hit a button or press the right combination of keys because after i finished about half my mesh is perminately smoothed.  So when i have the mesh selected and press 1, parts are smooth and others are sharp.  pressing 3 obviously makes everything smooth.

The problem i'm running into is when i bake my normal map.  It's baking in all those hard edges in the normal map.  After it's done and applies it to the shader, the shader looks like a partial mesh with grid lines and such.

Anyone have any suggestions, other than starting over, on what i could try to do to fix this?

Many thanks!

Hi,

 when you want to bake normal maps, you need to have your mesh in high resolution state. The key "3" just shows(smoothes) mesh in realtime mode. Doing it with gpu(so the actual explicit resolution of your mesh stays in retopologised state you made). So simply smooth physically your mesh to desired resolution and then export the normal map.
