Auto Bake v1.0.0

Auto Bake v1.0.0: initial release

Bake entire scenes or selected objects into optimized texture atlases with configurable bake passes, automatic UV handling, baked material creation, multi-format export and one-click ZIP packaging.

📦 Which file do I download?

File	For
auto_bake.zip	Everyone: classic add-on ZIP, installs on Blender 3.6 → latest via Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install
auto_bake-1.0.0.zip	Same file, version-pinned name
auto_bake-1.0.0-extension.zip	Blender 4.2+ Extension format (Install from Disk)

Do not extract the ZIP: install it directly from Blender.

✨ Highlights

• 13 bake passes: Base Color, Normal, Roughness, Metallic, AO, Emission, Alpha, Specular, Glossiness, Height, Displacement, Combined + unlimited custom Principled-input passes
• True shared atlases with texel-density preservation, island packing and automatic atlas resizing up to 8192
• Noise-free channel captures via a temporary emission rig (metallic surfaces keep their albedo)
• Automatic UVs (Smart UV Project) on objects that have none: originals never touched
• Baked material generation with full Principled wiring, transparency and normal-map support
• Exports: .blend, FBX, OBJ, glTF (GLB) + organized ZIP packaging with optional README/license
• Production UX: confirmation dialogs, live progress + ETA, friendly errors with fixes, session log, GPU/CPU with graceful fallback
• Tested end-to-end on Blender 3.6.23 LTS, 4.2.22 LTS and 5.1.2 (35 automated checks each)
