Thanks! I really appreciate that. Still going to do some shader tutorials for sure, but yeah it feels good to be teaching 3d in general again.

You can also create a third "[object].cage" and it will use that as the cage mesh automatically too.
Also, if you wanted an alternative. I use TexTools a lot to do bakes in Blender. UcuPaint is great but TexTools makes baking super friendly.
