    This is a miracle! I made shoes and spent 1 working day baking PBR cards. Now I did it in 1 click)) I would like to see the progress of the bar. I think this is the only comment. Thank you bro!

      Great to hear! I've left a long response on the status bar subject to one of the other reviews (from newawa). In short, I may look to do this over time, but there are pros and cons to what I would have to do to the code. Thank you!

    So easy to bake, and saved me a bunch of money on buying something like Marmoset or Substance. Thank you!

    A must have for everyone using a blender-sketchfab workflow. I cannot count how many hours I've saved with this plugin.

      Brilliant! Always happy to hear about people using it to upload to Sketchfab. I love Sketchfab, and easier export was the whole reason I started with SimpleBake.

    one of the only bake tools with all the right maps that actually works! Blender is not usable while it bakes which is expected but if you look at the destination file you can see the progress as it bakes. Must have for bakers!

      Great to hear this! I left a long, rambling response to one of the other reviews re: the lack of a progress bar and how I may or may not implement one given the pros and cons. Have a look for that. At the moment, however, SimpleBake spits information out into the terminal so you can keep an eye on it.

    This addon is amazing. It saved me a lot of time finding an easy workflow to bake textures, but it is a pain in Blender. Baking textures is something Blender should do for us, but Blender can't do it in an easy way. Thank you for the addon. You saved me countless hours with baking textures.

      Brilliant! Yes, baking in Blender is a time consuming pain in the ****. Baking PBR textures in particular just isn't supported, and you are left to come up with some convoluted work flow of your own. Hopefully SimpleBake will save more people from that!

    Great Addon!is that possable to add a progress bar while being baking?

    • HaughtyGrayAlien

      Hi - thank you for the view. Adding a progress bar (or similar) is on my long term goals list, but I have not made it a priority. SimpleBake outputs to the terminal to let you know what it is doing (see the FAQs). When you bake, Blender locks up, and there is no way to avoid this. The way that other add-ons give a progress bar is by starting up another instance of Blender in the background, leaving your copy of Blender responsive. I may do something similar eventually, but I have my concerns about doing it this way and I am not sure that it is ultimately worth the effort. At the moment, I am focused on adding more requested functionality like channel packing (which has been quite tricky). Overall, I think that's more important than a progress bar.

      Sorry for the long answer! Thank you again.

    Life is too short for tedious tasks. This has been my best $10 spend to date. Fantastic addon for a great price. Thank you!!
