I get asked this question a lot, and I'm sure some people might still struggle with this, so I put together a quick tutorial for you guys. Give some feedback or ask more questions if you like.
Doing this with possibly another one or two quick slices you can also do multiple angles. Play around with how you build your mesh because it can be significantly lower poly depending on how you build it.
Building them diagonally in this case made it significantly lower poly than building horizontally. Before you ask why I have unnecessary cuts, I don't. I built this in quads for the the high-poly to bake from.
