A workflow experiment - baking the results of a bevel shader to a low-poly, without a high-poly mesh.
UPDATE- in the meantime Marmoset implemented a bevel shader that does this exact thing that I tested here.

Prime Directives_

Check viability of using ZenBBQ to create a bake-able result without actually fiddling with a high-poly mesh.

Fortify Marmoset Toolbag texturing skills.

Scope

🟩 One static prop presentation to show off experimental bake.

Timeline

📅 Couple of days, no rush.

Constraints

🚧 Bake-to-texture in Blender

🚧 Proper UVs & texturing in Marmoset

"Your move, creep."

🟢 Success - the ZenBBQ bake came out fine, on par with the orthodox bake. Definitely a viable option.

🟢 Coincidentally right after I've wrapped this experiment, somebody gave Marmoset the suggestion for a proper implementation > >

🟠 Being a shader applied directly on the Low-Poly, if you're counting on editing the high-poly for fixes you're outta luck.

🟠 The Render-to-texture bake comes out as good as you set it... so there will be tweaking to be done.

Marmoset handles it.
