In this video, I'll briefly go over the Simple Bake add-on, and how to bake out PBR textures (like Diffuse, Metalness, Roughness, Normal).

Great vid I as a noob I was depressed by the blender baking process and after reaching out to Reddit for advice I heard about simplebake and was recommended your video. Thank you so much!

It's really in the podium of the Greatest AddOns! you can bake materials in P B R inside Blender! And so easy! Congratulations!

I've searched for exactly this. This is how Blender should do this.

HI, this is really great. Much better than my rubbish tutorial video. Would you mind if I linked to this (with proper credit) from the SimpleBake market page?

Hi! I'm trying to get the hang of baking right now. The problem is that most of the time, it makes everything so low quality even at 4K resolution. Any idea what's the problem?

Hey, firstly, thanks for great preview of the addon. I have few questions:
Does it support custom packing of PBR components on different image channels?
Can it bake AO maps?
Does it support baking multiple objects that have different materials applied into one combined material?

EDIT: I see you have tutorial for the third question.

I am a resident of Second Life (SL), Tap Quentin, and began using Blender to create objects in SL. Importing objects with materials into SL has been a pain. The textures were bitmapped and blurry. This video turned me on to Simple Bake and his videos are great for a newbie like me. I posted this video in Blender 3D -- for Second Life. This is a FB group where I am posting helpful videos that have helped me.

Hey brother I have multiple objects and I want to make multiple texture maps for each object it's own map is it possible to do in one go??

[MrAltugtezer]

Hello
When I did everything described here and pressed the bake button, I encountered the text ''Error :nothing in the bake objects list''.
I would appreciate if you write what is wrong or missing.

is this just for texures or can i bake my highpoly on my low poly too ?

thanks

All i get is black textures following you exactly. However it seems built in baker also do this so i dont blame the plugin but mayby you have an idea?
Have googled and tried all solutions but nothing worked. I wonder what the problem is. I am on 2.90.

Hey man! Amazing job, I'm thinking of buying this add-on for exporting textures to Unreal Engine 4, but I would like to ask you a question I've been struggling with: If I have a texture that is being repeated, a texture that I've clicked on one face of the mesh and slid the UV's into correct positions, would this add-on help me unwrap that mesh's texture into showing the complete repeated texture where all parts of it are slid correctly into the right places? Thanks!

I dont udnerstand everytime i bake something with this addon it always make it so low reselution and changes the colors why?

[RossNewman]

How do you use SimpleBake to bake in lighting?

[DesignReady.]

Is baking all material into one image with the same resolution affect the quality or not?

[imnotbatman]

how would i do this without that addon?

[joeshmoe]

Is this usable in my scenario in which I'm creating foliage from flat planes and using an alpha rather than modeling each unique piece of my foliage?

[mishraka]

Baking one texture file for a large scene with multiple objects often leads to artifacts as unwrapped UV for thin elements of different objects are placed too close to each other causing the color of one bleeds into the other. How do you solve this issue? I tried to use texture paint but that doesn't fix the overlap in the normal map.

[guiguig]

I just bought this, and I tried it out on a model but for some reason all of the textures are really dark and some are overlayed on top of each other even if they arent assigned on the same object...

[sounder]

there is no baking progress bar for info. bad program. just waiting until changing my cursor to normal
