PBR - Fireplace: Baking and Substance Painter

There were a lot of crashing and model errors throughout this work I was thinking of giving up after the retopping and sculpting. Finally, I'm can move on to baking. I started by finishing retopping and labelling each piece with L and H which stands for High /Lowpoly so the substance painter can pick up which part to bake.

Labelling each part as Lowpoly and Highpoly for baking

After I label each part I unwrap and make an UV map. There were a lot of overlapping pieces that can cause errors when baking so I spaced them to the side by 1 each piece. It was mostly the duplicated wood logs, Ship model's sails and walls.

Importing into Substance Painter and prepare for baking

I was so upset that the wood pattern that I spent so much time on won't show up on the baked model. I didn't know what I did wrong and adjusting the Rear or Frontal distance won't fix it. There was no time left so I settle with what I god and relied on texturing on substance paintier.

Testing out different lighting

I was actually quite happy with how the model turned out! It was a lot better than I expected and I was feeling less anxious that it doesn't crash like the past files I did and it looks very decent. I would have to figure out how to use the program more to achieve something like see-through glass for m bottles or hod to make a better bricks. But this looks great for a first time.
