  It kind of does what it says. You still need to prep the scene. I wish it were more automated. At least I donated to the cause. It doesn’t even bake UDIM maps.

  Simplebake is simply the best baking add-on out there, and I've bought and tried them all.

  For me, this is like the #1 add-on someone new to Blender needs, if they have to do any type of baking at all. I use it for the PBR workflow, to get complex materials into Unity/Unreal and I also use it to do Cycle baking (for baking lighting to textures).

  The creator has been quick to respond and is open to suggestions. I had a few that I mentioned, not really expecting him to do anything with, and within a few weeks, they were completely integrated!

  Thanks for the great add-on and support.

  Hey Alex - this is brilliant, thank you. Thank you also for the YouTube videos covering how to use SimpleBake, and the suggestions you made for background baking and for helping me test it. Appreciate all that, and the review! Cheers

  Awesome addon for Blender. It makes the baking process so simple. Everything works fast and precise. I really appreciate the work which went into making this little program. Makes my 3d life so much easier. Thank you.

  I'm currently investigating how best to create and export gltfs from blender and SimpleBake has reall helped take care of creating new models with everything baked ready to export.

  Baking in blender is insane and makes you go insane. So Simplebaked has really helped me avoid ending up in an asylum.

  When working with gtlfs there is one feature missing from Simplebake, thats the ability to include the AO in the PBR bake option. The GLTF exporter supports the ao map if you provide a custom shaderNodeGroup with its input set to Occulusion.

  I'm in the process of adding this feature in as it will complete the process for my project.

  I had really bad time with Blender's cycles baking setup. With this addon cycles baking works great. I might need added PBR baking features later too. I did lose sample progress count but this is apparently limitation of Blender's SDK for now and I did run into a few minor issues. The author added status for % of textures complete when I complained about lack of progress bar! It makes background bakes nicer with some status on completion.

  Thanks for the review! And for the suggestion of a % progress indicator. I think it's a big improvement to usability. Cheers.

  One of the most useful addons for Blender. Makes baking fun instead of tedious.

  Best money I've ever spent on an addon. In just a few days, I'm convinced this is one of the most useful Blender utilities in that it simplifies a horrendously-complex internal baking system, cutting the time it would ordinarily take you well over half. It'll definitely be useful to me when preparing models for use in Unity. Many thanks to the creator!

  Wow, thank you for those kind words about SimpleBake. Yes, I agree that the internal baking system is a train wreck (and hence wanting to make SimpleBake). Maybe one day Blender will have a "normal" baking function but, for now, I'm glad SimpleBake can help.

  Worked exactly as advertised. Saved me a lot of time that I could invest on working on the actual model.
