does what it says on the box, makes baking simple. This completely removes the tedium required to bake pbr maps for export to a game engine. Thanks for the addon.

Man this is a Godsend. This has answered my prayers and for the first time I have created a PBR material that looks exactly like the original. I thank you for saving me hours/weeks/days trying to figure this all out in Blender! Worth 10 times the price....

Thank you! Great to hear this. Although it's gone a little beyond my original plans (!), an easy way to bake PBR textures was my initial goal with SimpleBake. Happy to hear that you are having good results.

This is the add-on I've been looking for!
I only have one complain, it seems that the add-on doesn't recognize or neglect group-nodes, I had to ungroup every one for the add-on to do it's job as intended, If you can make it support node trees with groups it would be awesome!
otherwise, you are a life savior!

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, the limitation regarding node groups is mentioned on the main Blender Market page before you purchase. You *can* use node groups, but the shader nodes (Principled BSDF, Emission and Mix Shader noders) have to be outside the groups. I have not been able to find a way to reliably un-group node groups using a script (I've posted on developer forums and stuff - no one seems to know). I do keep looking into it and, when I find a way of doing this in a reliable way, I will incorporate it into SimpleBake. Thanks for the review!

This is probably the best addon for baking I've ever used. The updates are fantastic and the addon goes above and beyond what I thought was possible baking within Blender. I hope this addon has a long life with continually unbelievable updates to come.

This addon keeps getting polished by a responsive dev who seems to understand what I need with baking maps. I've used it on a number of high profile projects & it's performed great. It saves a ton of time hacking around in blender. It keeps getting easier to use.

If you create scenes in blender with huge amounts of objects to be used in a game engine this add-on is a huge time saver for packing textures. I want to give an applause to the developer for such a neat addon. The only thing missing is an atlas map creator for making uv packing more efficient, the smart uv option gives poor results and doing it manually is too time consuming, hope this feature will arrive at some point.

Hi
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to provide this kind feedback. I really appreciate it.

You make a good point about UVs, and I am taking it on board.
While I cannot improve UV *unwrapping* itself (like all add-ons, I am more or less limited to the automatic UV unwrap methods that Blender offers – mainly Smart UV Project), following your suggestion, I am currently working on a new feature for SimpleBake whereby you can re-*pack* the existing UVs of all objects being baked to fit one combined UV map. I believe this is what you refer to as an “atlas map”.

This new feature should be available in the next few days, I just need to finish some testing on it. It will come via a new version of SimpleBake, which will be available for automatic update within the add-on as usual. Look out for the notification in the SimpleBake panel.

If this does not address your comment, please get in touch with me via Blender Market as I would like to discuss if there are any other ways that I can improve this for you. I am always on the lookout for ways to improve SimpleBake.

Thanks
