For people who have some problems, like I had: 1. It's IMPORTANT that both objects are on top of each other. Just Shift+D them and don't move at all. Otherwise it won't work. 2. Don't select them in the wrong order or both your objects will end up black But thanks for the tutorial, helped a lot

[@SuperLongfield]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@dabelyew]

Still not working for me, I followed every step and it still stays in black

[@Ratatoeskrrr]

@@dabelyew And you clicked them in the right order? The bake method is "selected to active" so you have to click them in that order. Meaning the one that it's copied to must be the "highlighted" one. Another thing i read while searching was, that there must be a world light. If it does not exist it might end up black too. So maybe check the lighting if that exists. Apart from that Iam afraid I don't know what else could be happening :(

[@dabelyew]

​@@Ratatoeskrrr I selected it in the right order, first started selecting it with shift, in one order and the opposite; then I tried with control, also both ways. Not a result in any order or in any method. I also tried just now to add a light but the result is the same. Thanks for the feedback tho!

[@Rob-fb2zq]

Not moving them fixed it for me. Thanks for the info.

[@Everyday_Foreman]

I have been watching your video for years. I have many of your products and thanks for your years of service

[@Markom3D]

aweome, thank you for the support

[@hardwire666too]

Been a while since I baked with the native Blender workflow. I picked up Simple Bake a long while back and haven't looked back. I know it's not free but its is cheap and my god is it a time saver.

[@marshallwaters]

When it works, I keep getting python errors.

[@theemeraldweegee2503]

Omg thank you so much for making this tutorial! I have been trying to find a simple way to bake textures in blender, but all tutorials I've seen either would take me hours just to set up or would use a paid addon (I am trying to save some money so I'm trying my best not to use paid stuff). This, however, was simple and free. I was able to follow along with it with little knowledge of blender (I just know how to navigate the menus pretty much) and I am now baking my textures easily thanks to you :D

[@thescaphism]

Man thank you so much, you cant even believe how much that helped me now

[@fjpdu625]

I had some trouble before it worked but it's good! I didn't select the right one first, be careful between CTRL and SHIFT. If you really have problems trying on blender 3.6, I often have to go back to this version for certain things to work. If you have multiples UV maps, take car to use the new UV unwrap as active in the duplicate object and use the UV maps node with your others UVMAPS into your Mapping node on the procedural textures base mesh. Thank you very much for this tutorial which is quite clear, and above all which allows you to create UVs very quickly without an addon. If anyone knows of an addon that works for multitexturing, I'm interested, I've already tested around ten of them and they all give me an inconsistent texture in terms of UVs.

[@AmjayStudio]

"Spell It correctly cause I am from Australia" 🤣🤣🤣 Nice tutorial Bro 😁😁

[@digitalAuge]

Hey, at minute 1:01 under baking menu your "view from" menu is grey and not editable 🤔 how do you do that? I have to select "active camera" or "above surface" and then logically there is a black spot in the final result texture 🤯

[@GutStabber-f1y]

Thanks Mate, nice easy to follow steps

[@Nekotico]

For me if I let selected to active won't work, all my "no valid selected object" problem, gone

[@happycreations3d]

good tut. next time can u add a circle around your mouse so we can see what you're clicking more clearly

[@Latvian3Dman]

Thank You. By tradition, sharing now on Twitter :)

[@Markom3D]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@SweetLitzLM]

its not working its still back, even after i select the texture node

[@drenwww]

having same issues so far

[@drenwww]

so the answer is not shift, it is Ctrl.....

[@dabelyew]

@@drenwww I tried this also, but still not working

[@drenwww]

@@dabelyew i just did it, it works, issues could be that your materials is too complex probably, try simple at first

[@capyxx04]

The baking worked but it lost lots of resolution, anyone know how to avoid this?

[@Markom3D]

increase the resolution of the textures, or look into UDMI I think is what they are called.

[@josephvanwyk2088]

Can someone please explain this to me. If you have a level (in Unreal for example) with 10 houses. Do they all share 1 texture map. Or do you bake 10 different texture maps for each house in that level. As well as the individual props. Or do all props fit on one texture map as well? Trying to figure out this optimization thing that NO ONE TALKS about.

[@Markom3D]

What you are talking about is trim sheets. I’ll put something together in the new future as I am starting to use Unreal again and I will need to do this.

[@iKaGe01]

How come in Blender 4.1 I downloaded yesterday when you normal bake it repeats constantly but each time adds more to the image texture? Never know when its done anymore. 3.5 I had prior did it in one pass

[@crudmachine]

Man you're amazing

[@paoloboni628]

For who continue to see the black texture, try to switch from render to solid view and viceversa.

[@R3ddlt_Horror]

i followed it completley and watch it 10 times over but it keeps coming out black

[@Markom3D]

Check your normals

[@Dha1_rya]

really good for game assets , image texture dont take load like mat

[@Markom3D]

correct. Also exporting to other applications makes life alot easier.

[@ShnHonour]

Thanks a lot!

[@user-nf7im2wv3g]

HOLYSHIT THIS WORKS THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@mrhax4741]

dont be me and spend half an hour trying to figure out why the output is blank and make sure both target and source are visible on render and viewport (including any parent collections they might be in) 🤦

[@ei05]

what do you mean by "ctrl left-click bake" at 0:51?

[@grilldj]

He means select the "from" object first (LargerSets.006) then press "CTRL" and left-click on the "to" object, named "bake" in this example. This means that the last object selected (Bake) is the active object. The order of selection is important for this technique.

[@e_man_25]

Instructions unclear, my real life cake is now a game texture

[@geo.33]

It tells me it needs 50 hours to bake 😭😭😂 hope it doesn't Edit: It was really going to take 50 hours, but I just lowered render samples to 15 and now it just takes half an hour or so..

[@yakuzabyakko893]

I don't think this works if your object has more than one material

[@Markom3D]

ahhh in the very fist line I say that we got from a bunch of materials down to one. It does work

[@coatlennon]

Ripper

[@jackpsd1]

Spelling color correctly 🤣🤣

[@Markom3D]

lol, I am not wrong though

[@mighty_slab]

this video is poggers, as my dead son used to say

[@Titanscreaming]

aha wtf

[@satsubatsu347]

Wow baking in Blender sucks! Thanks for the heads up before I made the hideous mistake of opening this trash software.

[@Inconvenient_NPC]

This isn't baking...
