Can you increase the size of a high poly bake?

You can increase the size of this but shouldn’t go over 2.0. Once this is done, select the high poly mesh and add it to source mesh, make sure normal map is selected and move the high poly mesh into the low poly mesh envelope. You then want to select where your normal map is going to be exported to and what type of file it is going to be.
