Blender how to Reduce Poly Count and Bake Textures

[@Dradeeus]

I like the idea of someone completely new to modeling seeing the thumbnail and thinking baking has to do with bread.

[@Markom3D]

bahahahhahaa I didnt even think about this

[@gabrielegagliardi3956]

I usually bake this way, I'm still removing the 100k tris from the oven

[@bluewhalestudioblenderanim1132]

@@Markom3D this could be concidered "moving our problem somewhere else" because after doing this in a few detailed scenes . . you're going to end up with a large ammount of image textures

[@juusha]

I feel like I've been called out

[@joemama-bu5ue]

i thought it was a desert rock lmfao

[@jeffdavies2824]

I cracked up the way you looked into the camera and after a dramatic pause said, "subscribe?". It was like a comedian doing a mic-drop. Well done!

[@Markom3D]

lol, I need to start doing this again

[@FatheredPuma81]

Took me a second to remember my extension skips all that crap.

"How to bake bread in blender"

[@cineblazer]

First time I've felt like I actually understand the bake system.

[@maq3009]

I finally understand how to bake textures. Thanks a lot bro.

[@atreidespendragon]

Zing, I see what you did there.

[@UnderfundedScientist]

[@szofiazonai9034]

OMG I was stuck in the baking process for 1 YEAR and this is the FIRST time it worked!! You just got a new subscriber THANK YOU!

[@klonga_cgi]

the clearest explanation of baking textures , thank you

[@seanposkea]

These are may favorite type of your tuts. Very detailed and clear step by step on a complicated topic. I can always count on yours when I hit those kind of problems, "how the heck do I lower the polycount on this model I just downloaded...?" 8 min later, boom. Thanks. Oh and magenta is not an error just the Blender warning color to say that there is no shader data. Just like when model goes pink in texture paint before you start adding channels, or why the world goes pink when you swap HDRs.

[@Markom3D]

I used to do it a different way, but this method just seems to work better

[@jeemanx]

Very well structured and cleanly delivered tutorial, thanks for that! As has been said the pink colour isn’t a mistake, it’s long established in game dev lore - especially in its hex value (FF00FF). It used to be used to denote an alpha mask on pixel art sprite sheets back in the day.

[@LeBarbier75]

@@Markom3D Hi just amazing ! many thanks for this tips, it will help me, i have just a question, my original texture on highpoly is alpha with transparent zone in image... when i bake on lowpoly it work but not with alpha, it bake on black, I checked "alpha" when I generate my blank texture in my image texture node on my low poly before baking, I don't know what I forgot to do, can you give me the solution ? I would be grateful, thanks in advance. (sorry for my poor english, i'm french)

[@tahnmeep]

Posting this here in case it's helpful to anyone-- the tutorial worked great, and I boiled it down into a very abbreviated list so I can replicate the steps easily! (I do love the little mini-explanations in the video, now I pretty much understand what the steps are doing; the list just helps me not skip any steps as I repeat the process). Thank you Markom3D! -duplicate in place -hide original -working with duplicate.... -little green triangle tab: Normals > uncheck Auto Smooth >Remesh: Voxel: 0.1m; [x] fix poles, [x] volume, click Voxel Remesh Modifiers -Add Multiresolution, leave as is -Shrink Wrap: Wrap method: project; target: the original model; [x] negative [x] positive Back up to Multires: hit Subdivide 3 times Apply Shrinkwrap modifier Back up to Multires: bring viewport to 0 Shade Smooth the model. Shading taaab: Copy material (the lil copy icon next to the mat name) -Delete base image texture. Make a new one. Name it Subject_D ("diffuse"), 2048px. -Duplicate this texture. Color -> (new) Normal Map's Color node -> Normal. -Delete the _D texture, make a new one that is Subject_N (normal); 2048; Uncheck Alpha, check 32-bit float. -Looking at main viewport, tab into edit mode, UV > Smart Project, Island margin 0.010, OK. -Turn original mesh back on, Shade Smooth. -Little green triangle > Normals, uncheck Auto Smooth. -Hide original one -Select Subject_N in the materials nodes Tab on right: Render settings (little DSLR camera). Render engine: Cycles. Sampling > Render: set to 10. Performance > Tiles > 512px. Bake > [x] Bake from Multires; Normals from dropdown. Ensure Subject_N is selected, then click Bake. -Unhide original. Select it first, then shift + LMB to select the second model, then select Subject_D from material nodes, go back to Render settings > Bake, uncheck [] bake from multires, select Diffuse from dropdown, uncheck Direct and Indirect; only [x] Color. [x] Selected to Active; > Extrusion: 0.1m. Bake.

So Glad to find an Aussie doing Blender Tut's. Thanks Heaps Mate..

[@a3gzuy]

This is something I've been wondering how to do for a long time. Through another video I finally learned which were the right keywords to use to search for the technique and your video taught me how to do it with Blender. Thank you!

[@xnnocence]

Thanks a lot this tutorial helped a lot, when i first ever saw this was one year ago when i just started blender i was curious why is there baking bread in blender and i clicked it and didn't understand a thing and got that feeling of being dumb but now here am one year later with a lot more experience and i understood everything and most of all i finally know that you weren't baking a bread

[@Markom3D]

lol, brilliant

[@chadconley9641]

I never understand WTH is happening in the background of blender, but I can follow instructions. On point!

[@Markom3D]

sick, glad I was able to help you then.

[@kupoppie]

Vid was 3 years ago, and it made me smile because it still works!!! You made my day, thank you!! 😊

[@GaryEmmetteChandlerPlus]

Made me chuckle IRL (almost a "lol" even) at the end there -- super clear, informative, and direct. A well-blended and baked piece of bread, ser!

[@antonm.3894]

Thanks for great walkthrough. Wanted to add, that it is important to apply all transformations before UV unwrapping ("Ctrl+A" > "All Transforms"), otherwise baked textures are going to be unusable. Took me some time to figure this out

[@philipdavison459]

dude this was awesome! as a beginner I find learning from videos more helpful than trying to read or figure it out alone. this was exactly what i wanted to know how to do. thank you!

[@brentogara]

I have used Blender since 2007, and in that time reduced polys and baked maps hundreds of times on many dozens of objects... and I *still* learned a couple new tricks from this tutorial! Great work, splendid video. Tell Frank he has my subscription. Mom says "Hi!"

[@peterbrown3157]

these are the exact type of tutorials I wish everyone made! Tons of good info for an 8 minutes video

[@sonderbain]

Proof that proper explanations make things 100x easier. Dude I have watched like 10 videos on how to do this in blender and gave up. Today this got recommended to me and I think I finally understand how to actually go about this. Thank you so much!

[@PaulChabot]

That pause...... subscribe? Me... ha! yes... Would like to say how straight to the point this was, easy to follow, no fluff. Thanks. Looking forward to going through all your vids.

[@Markom3D]

sweet, thank you, welcome to the channel

[@PhillEvansIllustrate]

I'm struggling with blender, but tutorials like this really help by showing not only the how but the why of the stages of modelling. Thank you!

cheers mate

[@sebastianpolak9987]

Thank you very much! I accidentally clicked on the tutorial because I wanted to check my headphones xd but I was struggling with it all evening and here the solution came to me by itself!

[@pigmentinoil]

Very helpful tutorial. Don't forget to remove the MultiRes modifier (!) after baking the textures and saving them. With 3x subdivisions this will create unworkable lag, especially if you are multiplying the model with something like an array function, e.g.; not to mention it seems to increase render times as well. It took working through this workflow three times to figure out why my new lower poly models were lagging more than the super high poly ones.

[@snoomr]

this is the best blender tutorial on youtube

[@tonywtyt]

I just watched a video before yours that summarized manual re-topology. I'm going to have to watch this over a number of times so I can note the tools and the order of modifiers.

[@Marlke]

I love the way you explain, you make it fancy aand dinamic . And really simple for begginers!

[@Glowbox3D]

hahha...it all worked...he pauses and says, 'subscribe?' Cracked me up. There is a 'baking bread' joke somewhere in this tutorial. I've done this a few times, and I always forget the steps. Saving this vid to pull it up when I need it. I didn't realize the voxel remesh works that well. Nice!

[@Markom3D]

Lol, I made this video for me because I keep forgetting how to do it

[@Glowbox3D]

@@Markom3D Hahha. It's really handy now, seeing as how many photogram assets are being pushed out daily. Side note: I use UE5 also, it's crazy that poly count doesn't even matter in that space anymore--nanite is a dream.

[@cinemyscope6630]

THANK YOU! I bought a tutorial on photogrammetry which is nice but the texture baking part just wasn't too well explained. I also went through a 1.5 hour tutorial online and again the texture baking part was somewhat glossed over. Granted I had to do the remesh through a modifier to make it work but following your tutorial worked and it was WAY shorter than anything else I've seen on this topic!!! Also as stated by someone else already Baking - Bread NICE! Thank you!

[@Markom3D]

That’s one of the main reasons why I started this channel, short, sharp and straight to the point. That you for the feedback, and let me know if there is anything else that I can help with.

[@cinemyscope6630]

@@Markom3D Actually yes there is something. I've got an ongoing problem with smoothing being gone when importing to UE. If you could do an addition to this and cover how to get this from Blender into UE5 without loosing the smoothing groups it would help a lot. Thank you!!!

[@ChillieGaming]

@@cinemyscope6630 hey did u find the solution for it?
