🍪 BakeFromEmpty — Effortless Animation Baking from Empty to Models in Blender

Tired of manually transferring animations from your Empty object to models?
BakeFromEmpty is the ultimate solution to bake location, rotation, scale, and visibility from your Empty to any connected or independent model — all in just a few clicks. Plus, now you can easily export your model with its animation to other software, something that wasn’t possible before when animations were controlled by the Empty.

🚀 Features:

• Bake Animation: Seamlessly bake location, rotation, scale, and visibility from the Empty object to your model.

• Works for Connected or Not Connected Models: No matter if your model is parented or constrained to the Empty, or not connected at all, the addon works flawlessly in both cases.

• Visibility Keyframe Support: Bake visibility changes (hide viewport and hide render) along with transformations for full animation control.

• Customizable Frame Range: Set a custom frame range for baking, or use the scene’s default frame range.

• Smooth Interpolation: Automatically creates smooth, interpolated keyframes for natural animation transitions.

• Non-Destructive: Preserve existing animation data while adding new baked keyframes — no loss of previous work.

• Export Animation to Other Software: Now you can send your model with its animation (controlled by the Empty) to other programs, something that was previously not possible when the animation was controlled by an Empty object. The addon bakes all the keyframes into the model, making it ready for export.

🎬 How it Works:

1. Select the Empty Object: The Empty controls the animation, and its transformations will be baked into the selected model.

2. Select the Target Model: Choose the mesh or model that will receive the baked animation.

3. Set the Frame Range: Define the frame range for the baking process, or use the scene's frame range.

4. Bake the Animation: Click “Bake Animation” and let the addon handle the transformation and visibility baking automatically.

5. Visibility Control: The addon will also bake visibility keyframes for viewport and render settings.

6. Export to Other Software: Once baked, you can now export the model with the animation intact to other software, without losing any animation data.

⚙️ Requirements:

• Blender 3.0 or later.

• Mesh objects as target models.

• Empty objects as controllers.

🔧 Why Use BakeFromEmpty?

• Flexible: Works for models connected (parented or constrained) to the Empty or completely independent.

• Saves Time: Automates the baking of keyframes for location, rotation, scale, and visibility, speeding up your workflow.

• Non-Destructive Workflow: Keeps your existing animation data intact, allowing you to bake new keyframes without overwriting previous work.

• Exportable Animation: Now you can export animations that were previously only controlled by the Empty to other programs without losing data.
