    Seems very promising but can't get it to work on 3+, the zip provided has an older verion for 2.93 and the FAQ fix doesn't work, tried on 3 versions (on top of that, on some of them I hadn't imported the settings from other versions and started from scratch, which is supposed to be the cause of the problem, yet the fixes didn't work)

      Yes, apologies. As I've said to everyone that contacted me, this was a human error. I uploaded the wrong zip file. I can only say sorry. The error is now corrected, and I've replied to your message to explain how to obtain a refund. Thanks!

    Outstandig addon, a trully life saver!!UPDATED Sept 3I cannot recommend this addon. After several crashes I contacted the developer and although the answers were quick, and put to use, the program kept failing to work properly.  I also tried different solutions on my side without success, and ended up wasting over 10 hours on trial and error.  Finally I found another add-on to quickly bake without any problem, which means it is not my workflow but definitely a "Simple Bake" problem.

    It ruined my hard work! After baking, the original UV map is stuck and any edits to the UVs no longer affect the model, forcing me to recreate the whole thing from scratch!

      When you ask SimpleBake to create a new UV map, it just adds a new UV map to the object. Your original UVs always remain, and you can easily switch back to them (same goes for your materials - SimpleBake is entirely non-destructive).
      I'm unsure what you mean by the original UV map being "stuck", but as noted SimpleBake doesn't touch the original UV map.

      There are some really good beginner tutorials on YouTube that cover UVs and unwrapping in Blender. Once you get an understanding of the basics, SimpleBake should be easier to use!

      If you are unhappy with SimpleBake or are struggling to use it then please get in touch for a refund.

    Doesn't really work for a simple low polygon object. It messes up the textures. Some parts are completely black, repeating textures are ruined.

      I'm sorry that you have been unable to use SimpleBake - the add-on is designed to be simple to use but does require some basic Blender baking knowledge. There are also a number of support pages available to troubleshoot problems people frequently encounter when they are new to baking which maybe helpful:
      http://www.toohey.co.uk/SimpleBake/support/common_baking_issues.html
      https://blendermarket.com/products/simplebake---simple-pbr-and-other-baking-in-blender-2/faq

      If the add-on is not suitable for your needs then please get in touch and a refund will be provided.

    I never managed to make a correct bak of a complex skin texture in three days, I had to spend more than ten hours there to test all the possibilities. I watched all the tutorials on youtube but each of them does not present the addon with the simplest objects which I reproduced without problem.

    I really regret my purchase.

    The Addon doesn't work at all. The baked materials have fucked up UVs. I tried to contact the developer for help. He replied but didn't help at all.

      Completely agree. Weird how I couldn't help you with this given all the detailed information you gave me in your one and only message - http://toohey.co.uk/SimpleBake/muppetgallery/q1.png

    It actually drags tremendously when baking 4K+ textures; the API doesn't use Cycles/GPU at all. It may work for very small/simple meshes but beyond that, I had a bad experience. Not only that, but when you remove it from your blender install, it doesn't remove itself completely - I still get "Simplebake" UV maps in the Object Data panel in blender that I have to manually delete every time I start it.

      Lol. None of this is true (see the other reviews), and the last bit just reveals that you have no idea what you are talking about. I told you that after you were refunded. I'll let people judge you for themselves :-) All the best.
