The last job level setting deals with UV maps. We still need to fall back on Cuda in this case, but that is not a limitation of the add-on. But keep in mind that if you have an Nvidia RTX card you can't use Optix since it does not yet support baking yet. We can currently bake with GPU or CPU just like the original bake implementation. There are also your usual settings such as the save path, file format and render device. We could say that there are three levels of settings. If you are familiar with baking you will find the interface to be straight forward and simple to use. There is also a Baketool version for Blender 2.79 that we can use to bake with the Blender internal render engine. But the interface also takes up a pretty substantial amount of space so having it here leaves the full height of the 3D viewport to overview the settings. Perhaps putting it in the Cycles render settings would have made slightly more sense, since it is Cycles only. This is probably the most common place to put interfaces for add-ons and I think it's fine. If it doesn't appear, change your render engine to Cycles.
It appears as its own tab labeled "Baketools".
We then access the add-on interface from the right side properties panel in the 3D viewport.

Contains a few pages with some basic instructions.įrom here we install the add-on just like any other.We use this for the actual installation.Unlike many other add-ons we first need to extract this file. When we download Baketools we get a zip-file.
How to install, and what are the features of Baketools? In this review we take a look at version 2.1 for Blender 2.8x and see if it is worth your time and money.Įxternal link: Get Baketools from Blendermarket. In a recent release, anti-aliasing was also added, something that Blenders baking system has been missing from the beginning. We get features such as batch baking and a whole new set of possible bake types that corresponds to the map types we recognize from common PBR workflows.
What is Baketools? Baketools is an add-on that extends and simplifies Blenders baking solution. However, there are still bugs present and features I miss that could make life just that little bit easier. Baketools has enjoyed continuous development for a few years and has become better and more stable with every release. I have used Baketools for such a long time that I don't even think about it as an add-on anymore.
