Get Started

Installation

Available on Blender Extensions and GitHub Releases.

Supported versions

Developed and tested for Blender 4.2+.

Before you start

The add-on automates material setup for texture baking and provides batch baking workflow for processing a set of textures and objects at once.

To better understand what you can achieve, you may need to familiarize yourself with the baking process in vanilla Blender.

Most controls appear in the 3D Viewport 🍰PAWSBKR N-Panel.

Operation modes

The add-on operates in two modes.

Simple

Simple Mode allows you to bake selected in 3D Viewport objects to a single image.

This mode is useful for one-time operations and quick testing.

Bake Settings, for a description of the available settings.

Note

Currently baking only works with Principled BSDF Shader. Doesn’t suit your needs? Let me know!

Texture Set

Texture Set mode allows you to specify set of objects and texture types to bake.

This mode is useful for repetitive operations or batch baking a set of objects and textures for export or intermediate bakes.
