Beginners Guide to Baking | part 6 | Multiple textures into 1 | Blender 2.8

Continuing the guide to baking we are baking out lots of textures from multiple objects onto one texture map, sometimes known as a texture atlas.

Learn the basics of Blender 2.8 :

Baking has to be one of the most unintuitive aspects of Blender:-D But you did a great job of explaining it!

[venusasadyke]

i was nearly in tears trying to find out how to do this and then there was this video, the beacon of hope.

Thank you for this,
i searched the internet for 2 days to find a better way or quicler cause this seemed a little dounting, but i ended up back here.
this is The best Guy to get Straight up Knowledge of blender. learned a lot in from your video, and i will not search around for an easy way next time.

I spent hours watching videos and searching for tutorials, trying to get a single UV map from multiple textures. Your explanation and guidance was just perfect. Your method is the only way I have gotten this to work at all. Obviously, there is probably another way, because I know others are showing how to do it, but I think they are leaving out something in the process. I'm grateful. Thank you!

[elliottkva]

OMG! THANK YOU! I have been beating my head on the wall for days trying to figure this out. You explained it better than anyone. Don't know why it took me so long to find this video but glad I did. Excellent job. I will watch the whole series now.

How is that possible that this man saves my life every time I get confused about things in gamedev?! This is the most useful gamedev/3d channel for me. Thank you, Grant.

Absolute legend, I tried a few tutorials before I found this one and this was quick, concise yet gave me enough information to understand what I was actually doing.

[mcphersonsound]

I've watched a half dozen tutorials on this subject and this is the first one that actually gave me useable results.

[justanameonyourscreen]

This was the piece to the puzzle I was missing...great explanation

[schmildo]

I think this is probably the best baking tutorial i've seen for blender.

[vinimaykaul]

I think you explained it the best. I know Baking textures is not very straightforward and I have been struggling with it, but after you explained it this time about how the rendered UV and the Rendered Material is baked to the selected Image Texture mapped according to the selected UV...I think I will now never forget it. I just now understand it as Image and UVMap being Rendered -->Is Baked to--> Alternate Image and UVMap I Selected. Thanks a lot, Now it seems simple.

[PauZakArtist]

this is an amazing example on making ANY texture a lot easier and faster. this method can be used in a number of situations, saving a lot of manual labour. for ex.combining and transfering objects with color palet textures to ordinary unwrapped UVs. very easy to understand, already tested on the go. great, great stuff!! thnx

[jamesthiel]

Thank you so much Grant! It's one of those things: in a scene: I want to bake textures together on an atlas to avoid repeating all the steps for baking individual objects, + mem usage and file space optimization for games. And you explain it clearly simply, great quality delivery on youtube!

Did it on one group of objects; worked just fine. Did it on a second group of objects; Only atlases one of them. Checked it over several times. The UV maps are sorted, the nodes are selected, the baking settings are correct, the objects are selected, etc... and it just will not atlas 3 of the 4 objects for some reason I cannot fathom. Blender is great. =)

[okedokie]

Can't thank you enough, seriously! I went through so many tutorials that led me in the wrong direction. I got super close with one of your other videos and after your recommendation I decided to check out your playlist on baking. I was really starting to get discouraged and feel I was in over my head, so thank you again for such great, concise tutorials!

[ryanhahn]

Thanks for making an in-depth series on baking. I've really been enjoying it. This will help me out with several projects I'm working on

[echilateral]

This is the best tutorial i found on the internet

[afri-cola]

Great video! I know baking can seem unintuitive and a lot of people don’t like doing it, but I personally enjoy it, haha. I’ve come to make a fun little analogy that helps me understand it better

It’s a bit like a stamp. You unwrap the UV (create a desired stamp shape), dip it in the ink (your existing textures) and then brand with it (on an empty texture aka canvas). I think it’s an easy and fun way to think about it ^^

[linav]

Can't even explain how grateful I am. Thank you sooo much!

[williamna]

And this is why I'm here. Great video Grant! You took something very confusing to people and simplified it down where even the newest can follow.
