    Excellent job! The subtle artifacts on the flat surfaces look like they're the result of image compression. Baking to a 32 bit EXR or at the very least a 16 bit PNG should resolve that problem. Keep up the good work!

Doesn't seem possible to get better results than this. Any tips for intrusions appreciated.
