I found that you can bake with gpu, you just have to set your cycles render preferences in your system setings to Cuda, and only tick gpu. Love the tutorial
Yes, I ran into that yesterday when following a tutorial on baking. After changing to GPU the performance improvement was HUGE. This comment need more upvotes.
Texturing was the final wall that was preventing me from getting better at 3D art. Every time I was overwhelmed by the nodes and the texturing process (unwrapping, exporting, etc.). Always making meshes, adding some basic colors, and then ending it there. I'm glad I found your tutorial because it is a much simpler way to bake textures! Now to go back and learn the nodes... God help me on geometry nodes.
Thanks a lot, it's legit the only tutorial on youtube where it is clearly well explained and how works the full process to bake and export textures unlike the others crappy "tutorials".... Take my money
*I forgot to mention in the tutorial:* The sample count will effect the bake. So if you turn the sample count down, then it will bake faster. I usually set the samples to 10, when I'm baking. *Watch the New Updated Tutorial:* ruclips.net/video/Se8GdHptD4A/видео.html
Dude.. I got fired a couple days ago and I'm programming an AR as a portfolio. So, I need to convert my .blend file to gbl and for that I need my textures baked.

Hey Ryan, another great beginners tutorial! Just my consideration: Since Blender stores the baked data temporarily, it would be a bit faster to bake all the passes into the same texture node setup and save them subsequently with the appropriate name. That way you can leave the node setup untouched - just save the baked images via _"Save As..."_ Hopefully Blender will fix the Metallic/Glossy issue soon! Best regards

Yes, this is probably because your trying to bake a metallic material. I have a different video on how to bake materials that are metal: ruclips.net/video/aaRspfc9OBU/видео.html
Color, Diffuse, And Albedo are all the same thing, yes. Roughness, and Gloss, are the same thing, but I believe specular is different. I found a good article that explains this stuff. Sometimes RUclips will remove a comment with a link, so you can just search online for this, and it should be the first article: *help poliigon articles what are the different texture maps for*
I'm trying to bake some textuers so that my character and environment scenes don't lag and crash as much, and my files involve a lot of noise textures inputted into the metallic and specular nodes of their Principled BSDFs. I didn't see a mode in the dropdown options for those. Is there a different way to bake these, or do their options go by other names? Also, if one noise texture is applied to multiple traits of one texture, do I have to bake it more than once to different image textures or just bake to one? Thanks!
Hello, im baking multiple different materials but its creating on separate images if that makes sense. I have joined the model together but its still generating images on different maps for some reason.
See now this must of been the step I skipped! So definitely doing this! I made my first object for a game and it was pretty funky looking. My image texture look horrible in game so I’ll try this out! Thank you!
Not sure if you mentioned it, but why you are baking alpha channel when there is no alpha? Isn't that unnecessary and taking more time? Anyway, thanks for the tutorial!
Good lord why this thing is so complex? I just wanted my UV Layout to have the colors I used in the material color to be reference while I draw the true texture over then and know exactly the face I'm drawing. I never thought this was so damn complex.
Great tutorial, very well explained , specially the concept of baking and why we need to to it, and also which elements we can bake into the mesh...it really helped me out, very much appreciated!
Alright, so I copied your settings word for word and have the object selected in the 3D Viewport (both object mode and edit mode) as well as having the image node selected in the Shader Editor, but I do not get an image in my UV Editor like you do at 12:41 Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
@@RyanKingArt Yes I did. But after some more tinkering, I found the issue! Looks like diffuse baking will not work if I have a value from a math node going into the Material Output node. I fixed it by inputting the math node's output into a Diffuse BSDF Node, and then putting that into the Material Output node. Thanks for your time anyway! I appreciate it =)
You will need to make a new UV map and them bake the textures to the New UV map. I actually just recently made a video on how to do that. Here's the link to it: ruclips.net/video/wsO1eozb1Qk/видео.html

Hi ryan can I ask u a question? I have problems using cages in blender. After I create the cage from the low poly object, sometimes I notice that alt s (scale along normals) changes the geometry of my cage. When I try to use the cage object blender notices that my low poly and cage objects have different geometry, am I doing something wrong? I can't use the cage for a lot of objects due to this particular problem.
Very helpful but my question is if there is anyway that I can bake a material that has Multiple BSDF nodes, like Multiple Principle BSDFs and Mix Shaders. I am really stuck in my process because of this. Let me know please. Thanks
my "texture bake" is collapsing(when I'm baking color). When i click bake a menu shows, then just dissapear and no issues is showing. Who knows what is it? I can't figure it out 2 days
I've followed these steps (checked the nodes, settings, etc, except that I used image tile texture as initial one) but still after baking, it shows the supposed result texture as black square :/
@@RyanKingArt i think problem is that I did duplicate and separated a copy of rigged mesh, and can't get rid of bones on that copy (it's been copied with bones for some reason)
I was wondering, I have a kinda large object with different materials and masks on it (it's a house) When I click bake, nothing pops up in the black image. It's just blank. I think I have all the settings correct and I'm trying to bake it one more time. Does anyone have a fix? I want to import the obj into unity.
Hmm... So do you see a loading bar? Does it actually bake? Or does it give you any error messages? Make sure you have the same image, in both the image editor, and the image texture. So that you bake to the correct texture.
So to clarify - For example I have 10 unique houses made for a game to be used in Unreal. Do I bake each of the 10 on their own map, or do I bake all 10 houses on 1 map? My second question is, each house has windows, and parts that have emissions. When I bake everything together with the textures - does the map capture all info as it is, or is it something I need to re-setup afterwards in unreal (for glass and emissions)? I understand under bake type, you use combined - just wondering if it bakes glass, will it show glass in Unreal?
For your first question, it really depends on what you want to do. Either way will work fine. For your second question, I would bake an emission map, with just the emission values, and then use that in the final material setup, to tell the object where its an emission. And no, you can't bake glass. You will also need to bake a transparency map, to tell the material what parts are transparent. Also, I've never used unreal engine, just so you know, so I can't give you advice on unreal engine, only Blender. Hope this helps!
i have a problem with baking normal maps in blender. does the model have to be perfectly straight and aligned with the world to bake properly? because I have already made out my scene and textured everything and when i try and bake out the normal map it's broken.
@@RyanKingArt it's mostly just a flat color. And harsh sharp edges where detail is supposed to be. Like the normal bake is taking a picture of the object at an angle is the best i can describe it.
This is awesome! I have some other problems with textures too. When I bake them and save them I come back and the image texture is black again :( as if i jad never baked or it is nothing just a grid what do i do 😢
So i just started learning about baking, is this the same process as transferring any settings from the geometry nodes to sketchfab? if so what is the bake type setting? if not then do i just apply the geometry nodes to my mesh and will it show up on sketchfab?
Yes! If you want your Geometry nodes to work on Sketchfab, you will need to apply the geometry nodes modifier, so that it becomes actually geometry. Then you can upload to sketchfab. 👍
I followed ur guide, and came across an issue my fbx export looks like it’s missing pieces in unreal n unity my character looks patchy. Any ideas? Do u have a discord where I can send u screenshots?
Hmm, does the model look ok in Blender? I don't use Unity or Unreal, so I don't know for sure what the problem is. You can contact me through the contact page on my website, and send the screenshots, and I can take a look. You can find the link to my contact page on my RUclips about page.
Hi sir can you help me ? I am having a biggest issue about baking When i baked as smart uv map in new uvmap it still showing most of parts in black, textures not appearing there it's just coming like black in few parts
Is your material made of metal? Is the metallic value turned up? If so you need to turn off the metallic value, and then bake the textures. Check out my updated baking tutorial to learn how to do that. Links in the description.
@@RyanKingArt no sir it's not metallic it's entire texture is normal in fact how many texture bake there is always some parts black sir is there anyways that how can i show you my exact problem ? Cause there is still map but texture is black and i check all object have metallic value is 0 😓
Hmm... no. I don't know why that would happen. The only thing I can think of, is if your UV mapping is a bit messed up. You could try re-UV unwrapping it and see if that helps.
Oh wait, I do have one other idea. It might be because the "Margin" is either too high, or too low. The default is 16 px. Its in the baking settings. Try turning it down to a small number, to maybe a 6, or a 1 . And then bake it again. Hope this helps.
Sorry, I don't use Unreal Engine, so I can't really help you with that if its a Problem with Unreal Engine. Was your texture black when you baked it? Or just when when you added it into Unreal Engine? If its a problem with the bake in Blender, I can try to help.
@@RyanKingArt thank you for response. I was able to fix it. although baking textures doesnt work so good for me right now. I will try to dig deep into the subject later :D

@@RyanKingArt i found the problem: on section bake was selected - "Selected to Active" maybe to someone will be helpfull aswell. thanks for respond :)
I was wondering, I have a kinda large object with different materials and masks on it (it's a house) When I click bake, nothing pops up in the black image. It's just blank. I think I have all the settings correct and I'm trying to bake it one more time. Does anyone have a fix? I want to import the obj into unity.
Hmm... So do you see a loading bar? Does it actually bake? Or does it give you any error messages? Make sure you have the same image, in both the image editor, and the image texture. So that you bake to the correct texture.
is it normal for the texture bake to slowly go to 3% then finish all at once? or is something wrong with my setup
So to clarify - For example I have 10 unique houses made for a game to be used in Unreal. Do I bake each of the 10 on their own map, or do I bake all 10 houses on 1 map? My second question is, each house has windows, and parts that have emissions. When I bake everything together with the textures - does the map capture all info as it is, or is it something I need to re-setup afterwards in unreal (for glass and emissions)? I understand under bake type, you use combined - just wondering if it bakes glass, will it show glass in Unreal?
For your first question, it really depends on what you want to do. Either way will work fine. For your second question, I would bake an emission map, with just the emission values, and then use that in the final material setup, to tell the object where its an emission. And no, you can't bake glass. You will also need to bake a transparency map, to tell the material what parts are transparent. Also, I've never used unreal engine, just so you know, so I can't give you advice on unreal engine, only Blender. Hope this helps!
@@RyanKingArt Epic thanks, no worries - it makes sense.
Thanks for this video and pls make a tutorial on cartoon face because I can't understand difference between human and cartoon face so pls help me out
I will consider a video on that. Thanks!
thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
7:48 My meshes don't seem to do anything to the new image
In that part of the tutorial, you should just be able to see the UV mapping on the texture. Make sure your in the UV editor, not the image editor.
Hey Ryan awesome tutorial, tell me how to bake a displacement map please.
Just plug the displacement values into the emission on the principled, and then bake the emission value.
@@RyanKingArt ok thanks man
You are a good teacher!!!!!!
Thanks!
Very nice!
Thank you!
thank you
You're welcome!
This is perfect, ty!
You're welcome!
Excellent explanation ! you must be a teacher or a baker, Thanx 🧑🍳
Thank you very much!
i have a problem with baking normal maps in blender. does the model have to be perfectly straight and aligned with the world to bake properly? because I have already made out my scene and textured everything and when i try and bake out the normal map it's broken.
What does the normal map look like when you bake it?
@@RyanKingArt it's mostly just a flat color. And harsh sharp edges where detail is supposed to be. Like the normal bake is taking a picture of the object at an angle is the best i can describe it.
This is awesome! I have some other problems with textures too. When I bake them and save them I come back and the image texture is black again :( as if i jad never baked or it is nothing just a grid what do i do 😢
So i just started learning about baking, is this the same process as transferring any settings from the geometry nodes to sketchfab? if so what is the bake type setting? if not then do i just apply the geometry nodes to my mesh and will it show up on sketchfab?
Yes! If you want your Geometry nodes to work on Sketchfab, you will need to apply the geometry nodes modifier, so that it becomes actually geometry. Then you can upload to sketchfab. 👍
@@RyanKingArt ohh okay thank you for helping Ryan and thank you for this amazing content here 😊 I subscribe
@@elyceus Thanks!
thanks for the vid, really helpful
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the video. : )
Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
You're welcome!
I followed ur guide, and came across an issue my fbx export looks like it’s missing pieces in unreal n unity my character looks patchy. Any ideas? Do u have a discord where I can send u screenshots?
Hmm, does the model look ok in Blender? I don't use Unity or Unreal, so I don't know for sure what the problem is. You can contact me through the contact page on my website, and send the screenshots, and I can take a look. You can find the link to my contact page on my RUclips about page.
this was so simple once you explained it! Thanks for this amazing tutorial! 🙌🙌 I assume this would also improve render time within Blender?
Yes it would also improve blender's render time after baking. thanks for watching!
Hi sir can you help me ?
I am having a biggest issue about baking
When i baked as smart uv map in new uvmap it still showing most of parts in black, textures not appearing there it's just coming like black in few parts
Is your material made of metal? Is the metallic value turned up? If so you need to turn off the metallic value, and then bake the textures. Check out my updated baking tutorial to learn how to do that. Links in the description.
@@RyanKingArt no sir it's not metallic it's entire texture is normal in fact how many texture bake there is always some parts black sir is there anyways that how can i show you my exact problem ? Cause there is still map but texture is black and i check all object have metallic value is 0 😓
Hi. Do you know why my normal map have some blury spots in it and why it has a blury streched outline which isnt a part of the texture map.
Hmm... no. I don't know why that would happen. The only thing I can think of, is if your UV mapping is a bit messed up. You could try re-UV unwrapping it and see if that helps.
Oh wait, I do have one other idea. It might be because the "Margin" is either too high, or too low. The default is 16 px. Its in the baking settings. Try turning it down to a small number, to maybe a 6, or a 1 . And then bake it again. Hope this helps.
Hi, Thanks for the tutorial. How can i bake my textures if i textured each part of the model separately?
Do you have multiple materials that you want on one map? I have a video on how to do that: ruclips.net/video/wG6ON8wZYLc/видео.html
@@RyanKingArt thanks
I'm getting pixelation on my texture after exporting to glb file . Did I mess up in the UV process?
Hmm, I'm not sure. I never used .glb files before.
If you have multiple materials on an object, do you have to bake each one individually?
what if I only change my matalic value for matelic effect,how can I bake it sir?
For that, just use a completely white texture. And it will be all metallic.
@@RyanKingArt ohh i will try it thank you so much sir
i try to use my baked textures in ue5 and my mesh is totally black
Sorry, I don't use Unreal Engine, so I can't really help you with that if its a Problem with Unreal Engine. Was your texture black when you baked it? Or just when when you added it into Unreal Engine? If its a problem with the bake in Blender, I can try to help.
@@RyanKingArt thank you for response. I was able to fix it. although baking textures doesnt work so good for me right now. I will try to dig deep into the subject later :D
would love for a tutorial for changing textures on a Starfield outfit. ..
