Projection

Front distance2.0%

Back distance2.0%

Percentages of the low mesh's bounding diagonal; the readouts add mesh units.

Smooth projectionCast along normals averaged across hard edges, so seams do not split the bake. Conservative coverageBake every texel a UV triangle touches, not only those it covers the centre of. Ignore back facesRays pass through high triangles facing away from them.

Cage

Rays start on the cage and run in to the low surface: for shapes one front distance cannot fit.
