Sharing or selling a 3D model with somebody else’s raw materials may be a violation of the license we’ve purchased or received in order to use the materials. We want to share (or sell) models with licensed materials used in themĪ seldom talked about reason to bake materials is to keep others from gaining access to the original PBR or procedural materials used to create them. If we are animating… and will be rendering the same object over and over again, baking can vastly reduce the time spent re-calculating materials for every single frame. For game developers, this is very, very important. 3D programs won’t have to spend much time computing and rendering them. For objects that aren’t right up close to the camera, we can bake materials to improve render times and performance.Ī material created from baked textures is a very simple material. We want to improve responsiveness and render fasterĬomplex materials can slow down Blender (and other programs) especially when we have them on many objects in a scene. If we want to take an object into another program or sell it online, baking the materials into texture maps will be required. It should be noted the “single” baked material may contain multiple baked maps for things such as color, roughness, metalness and normals.īelow is an example of an object with multiple materials and the same object with all the materials baked.įortunately, baked texture maps can be universally placed on 3D objects in all 3D software. We could also combine materials from multiple objects into a single material to be used across all objects. We can use texture baking to combine multiple materials from one object into a single material. This means base materials, procedural materials, decals – EVERTHING – is reduced to just a single image. Texture baking is the process of taking all the materials on one or several objects and condensing them into image maps. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

This guide will be a full step-by-step tutorial on the entire process. Texture baking in Blender is a pain! There are a lot of steps to follow and a lot of ways to screw it up.
