Nice to the point video. However it's super important when baking to make sure the new texture you created is selected before baking. this is the same when you're doing any kind of baking and needs to be done for every material you have in a given seen that you are trying to bake too. Just use the same image for each material. If you see a message at the bottom saying no texture selected, that's usually the problem. Cheers!
@@StevenScott_studio53 I hate to sound like a debbie downer, but when whenever I click bake nothing shows i n my texture paint? I dont see anything. I'm also using 2.93 and ive followed exactly.. ?
Same here, I updated to the last version because it haves some new tools I really needed for painting but now transfering Vertex colors to Evee or Cycles is complicated as hell wihtout the vexter color node 😢.
Nevermind, I just realized the "vertex color" node is now called just "Attribute" and it performs the exact same function but better 😆 everything works fine now.
Is there a quick video somewhere import a .glb, convert the vertex color data to a uv map and export back out as fbx? I can't imagine this being that hard of a process yet I can't find this information anywhere.
Thanks so much for putting this together! I am running into an issue that I would love to get your help on if possible. Every time I click the "bake" button after setting it up like you explained it gives me this error "no active uv layer found in the object ____". Any ideas on how to fix this?
Is it possible to IMPORT a Vertex Color Map or a Weight Map? I want to be able to mask some particles in the Geometry Node editor by first making a map in Photoshop for example.
if anyone is having trouble baking out the vertex colours what i did was use the vertex colour as a factor in a mix rgb and baked out the colours i wanted. this will work perfect for cavity maps or ambient occlusion factors i guess
Do you know how to bake lighting to vertex color properly without the surface color getting mixed in with the light color and screwing up the lighting? I tried baking the shadow pass only but that didn't get indirect lighting for some reason whereas when baking combined with a plain white diffuse color I did get both direct and indirect.
blender is sometimes program of total randoms.everytime i try to bake there is something that doesnt work. Even if go wirth simplest tutorial he is bitching about something. mainly no valid selected objects. And yes, yes, yes. I created image texture, no its not connected anywhere, yes object is unwrapped. yes it is set to diffuse, yes i am in cycles. Anybody any idea please why is baking so problematic constantly?
Because you dont see what you work with in a proper window. It is a real pain. Most tutorials forget one step, and you are totally lost. Immediately. Baking is a process that uses connection between different windows. And no, I cant explain what you did wrong. But after a month of not getting it. I now get it much better. I still dont really understand the connection between the uv-unwrap and the baking. Are those different images or the same? Does it store the unwrap in blender, and the unwrap image is just an image of that? Perhaps. All I know is that 32 bit float is useful. Perhaps. I click on that. Blender has, I guess, a secret box with uv-things, that is just hidden. Or is it? Or does it show in the uv-editor tab left side.... himmm.... I will go check.
After I bake I'm getting some black lines through the texture. I fixed any overlap on UV, but still have issues? I'm making a basic asteroid as a game map. Tried a few things, but just can't get rid of these black lines.
@Genshi Studio I haven't fixed it properly yet, but it seems to be an issue with the UV map. There's overlap, and it only seems to be an issue on complex UVs.
Heyyyy, I'm also having this issue Help :s EDIT: Hey man, I just solved it! After the new actualization of 3.2, Blender changed the name of the vertex colors to "Color Attributes", so instead of searching Vertex Color, search "Color Attributes" on the menu, and the proccess of the tutorial stays the same :D

man, i love your sense of humour, thanks for a perfect tutorial ✨
Thankyou very much for the help I appreciate these types of videos and the time the creators take to create them.
Cleanest Tutorial. 10/10
¡Thank you! I was looking to export vertex colors to achieve multiple colors in my model's fur. using hair cards
dude tysm! I think you should add a FAQ pinned post since some people have the newer blenders etc.
This was helpful and very easy to follow, thanks.
Thanks I've been stuck on this for a while, good to the point tutorial
Hi, do you have idea to transfer texture paint to vertex color so we have id map for using in substance painter? Thanks for your video
Nice. It could be useful also for something like dirty old statues.
Definitely!
Using v.2.80. My area already has all the materials and UV textures done. but the shader editor appears to lack a vertex color node.

Did you ever find anything about this? I'm currently trying to find a solution as well
me too@@saturnkai

you need a uv map on the object / mesh
@@StevenScott_studio53 thanks! I'm super new but I'll try to figure that out!
This video is the best.
finally!! the nightmare of animating from magicavoxel model is over!!!! this vertex color to unity problem is killing me

I dont see vertex color in newer blender 3.5+ in cycles in shader editor
It helps!! thanks alot !
mice and short to the point Like !!!
Its called "Color attribute" now
thankyou!
great tutorial like it!
Glad you liked it!
what if my model already has a normal diffuse texture in its material and I want to bake to a different texture?
"oooh buttons" lmao

when i bake diffuse map i have black edges on places when was seams. how to fix this issue?
For some reason this doesn't work unless you unwrap the object.

@Steven Scott Any advice?
I get the same problem and I've fixed this by adding a margin of 2px in Ouput
All i'm getting is a black texture when I bake :(
Hi, I have a doubt
In the material editor when I press Shift + A, Vertex Color does not appear
Heyyyy, I'm also having this issue
Help :s

@@knightroy1123 thanks man ive been looking for this answer for ages
Bro.. have you ever did a review on fence maker add-on ??
I have not!
You should probably go for it..
@@ganeshmystic7574 I can only find a github download not sure if its even the correct one
I also can't find one..
This is all I got. ...
complains that there is no uv map
This doesn't seem to be working in 3.3.1. Any plans for updating it?
It says "No valid selected objects" for some reason
Lol your scottish accent. Shift +a sounds like shift + e
