    When you making asset & use image texture, often we make color correction of image, & then, this addon allow simply get the modified texture! Or, you need to export procedural masks to image. This is very helpful & I think this is must have addon.

    This was something I needed for making my models and cut down the need for nodes, both for reducing viewport render times and preserving textures specifically for exporting into other softwares. The maker of this plugin made it extremely easy to use and very time efficient, way more than the default Blender which is a chore in itself to setup. I used it with a wet muddy texture made from a noise texture and color ramps and I was able to make quick bakes that preserves the data with practically no loss in quality. Would recommend this for the quality service of the seller, and the ease of use of the plugin.

    Would be less than 1 star if not for the cheap price.

    This baking addon is NOT what you're looking for. It bakes ONLY the diffuse map. Not just that, but it doesn't give you the option to choose whether or not direct or indirect lights are baked into the texture. it ALWAYS bakes with the light info, which means if you have any light in your scene, or have any emission values, those lights will be baked onto the diffuse map, even if you have changed the settings in the cycles bake section.

    This addon won't bake anything but diffuse. I've tried and tried baking roughness maps, normal maps etc, NOTHING. Only diffuse.

    The option to replace the nodes with the image texture is great, just a shame it won't work for 70%+ of texture maps you ty to bake, those you have to do manually, rendering this addon essentially useless.

    Wish I could get a refund.

      Hi Jaeson,
      I apologize for the extremely late response—I somehow missed your review until now.

      The addon isn't specifically meant for baking PBR textures; instead, it focuses on simplifying node trees by baking certain sections into static images. While you can bake roughness or normal maps by selecting their source nodes, it's not designed for baking directly from the BSDF shader. Additionally, since it uses an emission shader for baking, direct or indirect light sources are not relevant.

      If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out. If you'd prefer a refund, that's still an option—just let me know.

      I'm truly sorry for any frustration this delay may have caused.

      Best,
      Amandeep

    This is not just an addon. This is the real s***. The most usefull addon I've seen for such a low cost. If you work with GLTF exporting or love creating procedural stuff but can't use it on your final exports cause baking it would take a lot this is your addon. Just insane, you saved my life ♥

    Great addon to easily bake out textures for game assets. Now I can use Blenders shader editor for game ready procedural materials instead of Substance Designer.

    This little addon has saved my (animation's) life multiple times — it makes baking unconventional properties that would normally be very complicated a simple click of a button. It even has an option to replace the node right away, which adds up to a lot of saved time reshuffling nodes over the course of a lot of bakes. My only complaint is that if you do multiple bakes in the same file, the older ones start to disappear, so I find myself closing and re-opening the file just to make sure the images are saved (which negates some of the time savings)

      Hi Lincoln,
      Thank you so much for the review. I am glad you are finding the addon helpful.
      For the issue with bakes disappearing please reach out to me at [email protected] with little more details(maybe share some screen recordings) and I will make sure I fix it as soon as possible.

    Very simple and most importantly, it works. I was able to bake on a texture on a character that I was previously unsuccessful at doing. I love this little addon
