  Ok, there are a few baking tools out there. I had my AI research online to compare them all, and my AI listed this one as the best candidate for what I needed in terms of it being user-friendly for a noob like me, and for it being usable by my AI using my blender mcp (I use the new jabberwock/blend-ai). So, I haven't tried any others because this was the first one I tested. And I won't be trying any others, this thing rocks. Like, it's SO, SO simple to bake the most complex textures/shaders with crazy node structures, etc. This thing just bakes them, leaves the original meshes untouched, duplicates them perfectly baked, boom, your mesh is perfectly ready for exporting to GLB. I don't use Godot, I'm just using this to bake textures into 3D models for three.js/webgpu, and man, it feels like it's doing the impossible and it's so easy. Tip: If a bake fails, it's just too big. Don't try to bake too much at once if your machine isn't powerful enough for huge bakes. Break your bakes up into smaller bakes and it never fails, it's awesome. Note to Author: I had to restructure the addon zip file into folders and rezip it, so you might want to look at that. It wouldn't install at first until I renamed the files to not have the parent folder names, and then add the folders, then rezipped and installed it fine after that. I'm using Blender 5.1.

  Hey, thanks a lot for the review, really stoked it works well for your three.js workflow!

  About the install issue: I tested on a clean Blender and the zip installs fine as-is. My guess is your AI/MCP might have tried to extract the zip directly into Blender's folders instead of using the built-in installer. Just go to Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions > Install from Disk and pick the zip, no need to unzip or restructure anything.

  And great tip about breaking up large bakes, that's spot on!
