Before baking

Here are the original animation setup and curves. Keep this source state so you have something to compare the bake against.

After baking

The resulting keyframes are visible in the after view. Play the same frames in both versions to check that the motion has carried over.

Bake the motion you see

Bake supported keyframed, constraint-driven and driver-driven animation. When parent and child objects contribute to the motion, compare their movement before and after the bake.

Choose which objects to bake

Bake selected objects, visible objects or the full scene. If nothing is selected, the described fallback is scene mode, so check the scope before starting a big job.

Keep track of children, cameras and lights

Use the options for child animation and parented cameras or lights when your shot needs them. Test the particular relationships in your scene rather than relying only on a simple example.

Set the frame range and shape-key options

Choose the start and end frames you need, and enable shape-key handling where appropriate. Use the same range when comparing the original and baked animation.

Decide which attributes to keep

Choose whether to retain materials, vertex colours and tangent data. These settings are separate from baking the motion, so set both parts of the job deliberately.

Keep the results organised

Baked results receive a suffix, and the tool includes hierarchy-reconstruction and naming controls. Check the object structure after the bake, not just the animation curves.

Rename data when you need to

Optional utilities rename objects, data blocks, materials and animation data. You can use them separately; renaming is not something every bake needs.

Work with different object types

The toolset covers meshes, curves, surfaces, metaballs, text, armatures, empties, cameras and lights. Check the properties your shot actually uses—especially when external simulations are involved.

Follow progress and handle errors

Progress, validation and error messages help you see what’s happening. Keep a duplicate project even when recovery options are available; don’t make recovery your only backup.

Test the part that matters

NLA, custom rigs, scripts and external simulations can need extra preparation. Start with a representative shot and compare playback before using the baked scene for delivery.

The add-on in Preferences

This is SuperBake’s installed entry. The before-and-after pair shows the animation data separately.

Choose what to bake and keep

The panel includes scope, attributes, shape-key, child-animation and frame-range options. This cube scene shows the interface only; it is not an example of a completed bake.
