Blender how to Reduce Poly Count and Bake Textures

We will go through the process of reducing the poly count on a 3d scan or a high poly mesh, down to an acceptable size, and then to bake a normal map and also a diffuse map in Blender. The model was downloaded from SketchFab

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

"How to bake bread in blender"

[@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

[@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]

Same

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!"

[@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!

[@JurassicJordan]

I love how this came up in my feed when I needed it, didn’t even need to search for it. This is a fantastic tutorial, thank you for this information!

[@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!

[@omar459]

this is best tutorial I watched so far about making models look detailed but with lowest veretexes u can ever get, really thank you for this.

[@ccmcgaugh]

Excellent tutorial....very complicated, but detailed, and the results are amazing! Thanks! 👍😃👍

[@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.

[@Stefartwork]

@@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)

[@griffin-nexthomereality]
