OrthoSnapshot for Blender

Professional-Grade Orthographic View Generator with Smart Baking

Product Overview

OrthoSnapshot revolutionizes 3D reference creation by automating orthographic view generation, UV baking, and technical grid overlays. Designed for modelers, 3D printing enthusiasts, and technical artists, this addon delivers production-ready reference sheets directly within Blender's viewport.

Core Feature

One-Click Workflow

šŸ–±ļøĀ Generate Ortho Views

  • Instantly creates front/top/side views using Cycles rendering
  • Auto-generates optimized UV maps with proportional scaling
  • Bakes viewport-ready textures using Ray Portal BSDF (Ensure final lighting setup in Cycles before baking)


Workflow Controls

šŸ”§Ā Bounding Offset

  • Padding between model and viewport borders



šŸ“Ā Base Resolution

  • Maximum texture resolution (shortest edge), auto-adjusts aspect ratio



šŸ“‚Ā Bake Path

  • Default:Ā /[Blend_file]/bake_textures/



šŸ”„Ā Rebake

  • Re-bakes textures with current grid settings
  • Outputs opaque textures for Solid mode/3rd-party software


šŸ’¾Ā Save Image

  • Exports final texture to Bake Path after review


    Parameter SettingsĀ (Collapsible Menu)

    ---Line Settings---

    Parameter Description
    Line Opacity Controls grid line transparency in background
    Line Scale Adjusts global grid pattern scaling
    Line Thickness Modifies grid line stroke weight
    Line Overlay Sets transparency of grid lines over model textures



    ---Grid Settings---

    Parameter Description
    Grid Tint XYZ-axis color intensity (Red=X, Green=Y, Blue=Z)
    Grid Opacity Background grid plane transparency (excludes model)



    ---Texture Settings---

    Parameter Description
    Texture Tint Model texture axis tinting strength (RGB=XYZ)
    Texture Opacity Overall transparency of ortho views


    Technical Notes

    • UsesĀ Cycles + Ray Portal BSDFĀ for physically accurate baking
    • Bake quality depends on viewport shading setup
    • Supports multi-channel baking (connect any BSDF to Ray Portal)
