Add-on Preferences

The add-on's preferences panel

Bake in Background

Perform baking in the background for Blender versions that support it. If this is unchecked then the interface will be unresponsive whilst baking.

Default Samples

New baker nodes will have their Bake Samples property set to this value.

Device

The device Cycles should use when baking.

  • Default: Use the device set in the scene's render settings.
  • CPU: Use the CPU.
  • GPU: Use the GPU compute device.

Use NumPy

Use the NumPy library (if available) when handling large arrays. Can significantly speed up baking to sculpt masks with high-poly meshes.

Max Preview Size

The size of the previews that can be displayed on the node when using the Image (Plane) target.

Preview Update Interval

How often to check whether a node's preview should be updated.

Bake Previews in Background

Bake previews for the Image (Plane) target in the background. This stops the UI from freezing while previews are being generated, but may cause crashes in some cases.

Create Missing Targets

Automatically create target images or color attributes if the target of a baker node is left blank. The settings used when creating the image/color attribute can be set in the Automatic Target Settings section under this property.
