@lucky I’m using 2048 cause that’s the current permitted size for us. But I should probably rebake everything 4k and reduce the size after the fact.
The puckering isn’t terribly surprising when you think about how the maps work, and would probably look better as displacement because you get more control over the level of depth. The cracks I have are inset really far and sharp compared to the other details, so striking a balance is kind of hard with a normal map. Notably, combining the normals with AO attached for height yields noticeably better results.
