Baking out maps from a high poly sculp

Support Modeling
1

Hey there. I recently finished sculpting a 3D model of a dragon head. Everything is looking good but my polycount is close to 1 million polygons.

I have a base mesh of my head, and I was wondering how can I bake my sculpture into individual image maps (displacement,AO,spec,normal …etc) so that I can apply them to my base mesh ?

Thanks for any responces in advance :slight_smile:
