QuickMat Bake Pro – Ultimate Texture Baking Tool for Blender

QuickMat Bake Pro is a powerful, time-saving Blender addon that makes baking textures fast, organized, and fully customizable. With support for 20+ types of baking, including formats not natively supported by Blender, this tool is perfect for preparing textures for game engines, real-time applications, or advanced material workflows.

✅ Key Features

• 20+ Bake Types Includes both standard and extended bake passes:
  • Diffuse, Normal, Roughness, Metalness, Specular, Emission
  • Albedo, ORM, AO, Clearcoat, Transmission, Alpha
  • Height (Displacement), UV map, Position, Shadow
  • Custom pass support planned in future updates!
• Batch Baking by Object Automatically bakes textures for multiple objects. Each material’s textures are saved into its own folder for clean, organized output.
• Multiple File Format Support Choose from a wide list of file formats per bake type:
  • PNG, EXR, HDR, TIFF, TGA Even bake types like ORM or Metalness can be saved in your desired format.
• Flexible Image Resolution
  • Choose from preset sizes: 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, etc.
  • Or input any custom resolution you need (e.g., 3000×3000).
• Smart Automation
  • Automatically detects materials and organizes texture outputs.
  • Warns you if essential connections (e.g., Displacement) are missing.
• Two Modes: Neutral & Current Scene
  • Neutral Mode: Produces clean, consistent results by ignoring all scene lighting, materials, and render settings. Great for creating reusable texture assets.
  • Current Scene Mode: Uses your current lighting, material, and render settings for more artistic or customized results.
• Fast Workflow Designed for speed and batch workflows—ideal for artists preparing assets for Unity, Unreal Engine, or custom pipelines.

📦 Installation Instructions

1. Download the .zip file of the addon.
2. Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
3. Click Install, then select the downloaded .zip file.
4. After installing, enable the checkbox next to QuickMat Bake Pro.

🚀 How to Use

1. Select the objects you want to bake.
2. Go to Render > Bake Material To Textures in the top menu.

   

3. In the QuickMat Bake Pro panel:
   • Choose the bake types you want (e.g., Diffuse, Normal, ORM, etc.).
   • You can switch between Neutral and Scene mode at the top of the addon panel:
     • Neutral Mode ignores your scene’s lighting and materials — use this when you want clean, uniform baking.
     • Current Scene Mode uses the current scene’s lights, materials, and render settings — useful when baking textures based on the actual look of your project.
   • Select the file format for each bake type.
   • Set the image resolution or enter a custom size.
   • Choose the output directory for saving the textures.

     

4. Click OK.
5. The addon will:
   • Bake textures for each selected object.
   • Create folders for each material.
   • Save textures with the selected format and resolution.

💡 Tips

• To bake a height map, ensure your material output has a connected Displacement input.
• Use EXR or TIFF for high-dynamic-range maps (e.g., Height, Normal).
• Use PNG or TGA for color passes like Albedo, ID Map, and Diffuse.
