    Just magic. A few parameters, one click and done. Almost perfect.

    However, as 99% of the addons for Blender, SimpleBake is based on top of vanilla Blender's functionalities, which in some areas is quite poor.

    For example, the background of the baked images is black and the edges are jagged. That makes no sense at all. Most of the time, it makes some black seams in the resulting maps over the mesh. The correct behavior should be to extend the average color to the background and fade the borders. That is what you get from other dedicated software to this matter, like Substance Painter.

    I also find the UDIM workflow not as intuitive as the rest of the addon is, but it is nothing out of what I normally do without it and there is a pretty handy tip that tells you exactly what to do.

    Out of that, the addon is just over the level.

    Does exactly what it sets out to do. No muss, no fuss, takes a lot of the hassle of guesswork out and simplifies it all. It took a bit of experimenting to figure out the settings and get the result I wanted but that only took about 10 minutes. That's a plus in my book.

    Thanks so much for making this. Saved me hours of work. Makes my particular workflow working with chunked photogrammetry meshes about 100x faster

    Saved me hours of time! So I was using an online program called Monster Mash for converting 2d to 3d objects and added custom roughness and ramp maps. Not at all proficient at Blender but really wanted to bake the textures in the new models to add to my UNity scene. This add made the process just so easy. Model and all textures baked in minutes and then extracted to a folder of my choice. So much easier than the default Blender Baking! Blender and Unity need to get their houses in order and start hiring real developers like this one.

      Hi George - Thank you for this! It's really nice to hear. While I'm flattered by the suggestion, I don't think I'd cut it as a developer at either Blender or Unity :-) All the best.

    This has really helped simplify my baking process - turning an hour of stop and go PBR workflows into a 15 min process.

    The creator was really responsive with support, which is a rare and great think to find among blender add-on creators. I strongly recommend this add-on as a must have!

    Wery helpfull & convinient tool! In my working pipeline, very often I make quick concept to show the idea. And also often, I try do my best to make concept closest to final look. Usually, it consist of modeling, procedural texturing/shading, lighting, rendering & postprocessing. This pipeline much faster than use unwrapping & texturing in Substance Painter each of object. But this process, have a drawback: after that, I need to give prepared assets with PBR textures, not procedural ). Now, Simple Bake tool is simplified this prosess, made it automatical! Of cause, tool is not ideal (I guess, developer will continue improve it). On my opinion, Simple Bake is must have tool for Blender users, especially, who thos creating game-ready assets.

    Developer always available (don't trust people that don't know anything, he replied even to my dumb questions xD), constant updates, easy to understand when you actually start using it and easy update is the best thing in the addon world. Suggest this baking addon out of all the others, it's just good. Always had problems baking procedural textures, or High to Low poly baking, this makes the life way easier!
    Thanks for the support you give to this addon and it's users :)
