You always seem to post the exact video i need, you are the new blender guru
glad it helped!
This is by difference the Best tutorial I could find about this topic, with a nice pace, not too fast, not too slow . Instantly subscribed. Thank you!
Thanks for the sub! glad you like it!
I've been using Blender for a few years and I didn't even know you could do this! Thanks Ryan!
thanks for watching!
Just wanted to thank you. Your video (as well as the other one on baking multiple object to one texture) helped me immensely, thanks a lot.
Glad it helped!
I needed this exact methodology and found you after a quick Google search. Thank you for this! Subscribed.
As always, a very useful and precise video
thanks for watching!
Thank you so much Ryan... your tutorials have helped me move some of my work from Maya to Blender... and FAST!
glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this trick, my first UV Map is always terrible after i edited it to get nice shape, but now i can baking it into a other clear UV Map.
This is a great tutorial. Thank you!!!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video, works great.
Glad it helped
I love how much flexibility texture baking gives you
yes!
You saved a lot of my time. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
bro you are goated just helped me on a year old video chat gpt brought me to the right place.
glad it helped.
this is really helpful,thank you for the tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
Using the UVMap node didn't work for me, It kept baking the texture on the original UV coordinates. What I did was once the secondary UV was created, I set up the old UV map as Active Render and clicked on the new UV in the properties panel, then baked it. It seems to choose the highlighted UV Map as the output for me. Im using 3.4.1
Thanks!
Finally. I've been trying to find a straight forward answer to this problem. I've been making manually made uv maps on photoshop for building assets in cities skylines and it has been driving me mad.
Thank you! Very helpful for me!!!
you're welcome!
Thank you so much for your tutorials, I really appreciate them! I have a very odd question that I hope you could help me with. Everything worked with me up until the (preview) and (Baking) parts. I am doing the same process to an (.PMX) 3D model, so the nodes look almost exactly the same, but they don't work as properly. I used the Cats plug-in to convert my .PMX model to .FBX... would be able to help me with a solution for this?
Very useful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much had no idea this was my problem I spent the past 2 hours trying to fix my baked textures. to realize the whole time I was using my old UVmap from before I added my new textures.
glad it helped!
Man, I was having some serious questioning about what how I was going to my models and textures from now on, because on Unity it isn't healthy to have many materials on one object, but the way I make my models and textures uses images fully covering the UV maps, so I couldn't bake them. This helped me so much you have no idea.
Amazing 🤩🤩
Thanks!
but I was happy when I saw that you were explaining how to solve the problem I had because I knew that you would explain everything step by step, cheers homie
thanks for watching!
Just what I needed
hope it helped! thanks for watching.
Hi , thank for your awesome tutorial. but i have a question. If i remesh my models then how can i bake the UV map?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
you're welcome! thanks for watching 👍
ur are god blender tutorial video.. tq man.
glad you like it.
Great tutorial! Very clear and to the point! one thing tho...
Inputting the UV node in the image texture node doesn't do anything aparently!
You need to have the right UV map highlighted in the object data properties, where you created the new UV map to bake to that UV map
Oh ok thanks for the info 👍
Thanks man !
This was actually a huge issue for me and I wouldn't have known how to fix it until I looked at the comments just now. Seriously, thank you.
Was hoping this would help, but I still don’t get an image generated , I’m stuck now
Thanks for the video, how can I bake when I am using multiple UV maps for the same model? Each material is on a separate UV tile. Each Material has an Image Texture too.
Nice!
Thanks!
Thank you!!!! Super!👍
thanks for watching!
Great series on texture baking. Thanks for the effort to put those together! I have a case where I am pretty sure it's not possible to bake without lots of effort, but just would like to get your expert opinion.
Female avatar with underwear as separate objects. I would like to bake underwear texture onto body texture and remove underwear mesh altogether. Body has multiple materials (UDIM). The problem is, that I may not modify body UV maps. So underwear has to be projected onto existing body UV. Is that possible without too much effort? Maybe you know a plugin which can help. Thank you in advance.
Thank you so much sir
you're welcome!
Thank you for your great tutorial! I have a problem. When I select image node that gonna be baked in it turns my model black and when I bake it just bakes black in the shape of second uv map. Everything else is as in tutorial. Can you please help me?
Thanks, very helpfull !
Glad it helped!
@@RyanKingArt strange, but I still somehow get strange results.. mainly where the UVs don’t match each other, half of the normal map is fine, and half is totally messed. Only on parts where I made changes in uv.
If you get a black texture it could be your model shading as an alpha on it, make sure you disable anything apart from colour information
Thanks
you're very welcome!
Is it possible to bake a texture WITHOUT unwrrapping? let's say i have a mesh and i splitted it all by 'loose parts' (example a column from a building) and that building has one huge 4k/8k UV Layout/texture, not in every game engines it will look pretty, so i need to seperate parts, so can blender bake like the column to a new image and set the scale to to given size of the new image? (again use the UV of mesh and not unwrap as it have to keep the UV)
Hello. Is mark seam important for uv map?
Good 👍👍👍
Thanks!
So this is what we need to do before baking multiple materials/textures into an Atlas, right?
Maybe a little off topic, but I had real problems with the Node Wrangler preview not working, or intermittendly working. The correct connection would be made to Viewer/Material output from the previewed node (and the Use Nodes box was checked). Turned out it was due to multiple slots filled with materials. Deleting all the slots, so it is only Slot 1 that is filled fixed it. I have watched multiple of your videos, and they have all helped greatly, but I do not remember you ever mentioning this.
your cube has beveled edges / corners and the texture seems to be seamless. How can you achieve this on a rectangular shape where the marked seams make the points where texture begin / end very visible?
Great video as always, quick request just because I've been playing a bunch of call of duty lately, would be awesome to see how you would make procedural camouflage patterns :)
thanks for the idea! 👍
mine is showing up different for the sampling tab, instead of saying Samples it has Max samples and min samples, what should I do? I'm also using cycles
I have two head mesh 1st is textured and the 2nd head is uv unwrapped and has different uv map. I want to apply 1st head texture to 2nd head. Is that possible?
I don't suppose you have a tutorial that I could use to transfer Normal and displacement maps form old version of a model to a retopolgized version. Some proportions are shifted as it got a bit adjustments to fit the owner's likes.
Looks like additional UV Map solved my issue.. Some textures was rotated around, but now ok.
Figured out why I was getting a black texture. At the very end, though the video doesn't show this, so it was throwing me off (I didn't make a texture in Blender; I added a pre-made image texture as a material so maybe this is why I had to do things differently). I had to make sure my new UV layout was selected before hitting bake. In the video, Ryan has the old UV layout selected before baking. I'm using Blender 3.3, if that matters.
Great tutorial! The one thing that I'm struggling with though, after I bake using a more complex model there's lots of black speckles which I assume are bc of the objects overlapping (these two objects are the only ones in the scene). What can I do about this?
Have you solved this problem?
THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
you're welcome 👍
Really important thing that you didn't seem to mention (My mistake if this was said, watched the process 3 times) :
You HAVE to highlight the bake target UV map in the Object Data Properties or else it will not work!
If you dont do this it won't work!
Oh wow you just saved my ass with this information. Thanks!
Hi, just found your channel, gonna learn a lot. Just want to understand, is blender instruments good enough to make materials for video games? Or I should learn substance painter instead? Anyway, I want to have at least basic understanding of material nodes in blender at first. Just not sure if its the invention of the wheel or not?
Am also not really understand where to start to learn material nodes. I mean, you have a lot of different materials, but where I can find like a fundament of all of this?
I have a Procedural Nodes for beginners tutorial that you can check out: ua-cam.com/video/5B244CYX1Tw/v-deo.html
I think your tutorials are really good. I don't seem to be able to solve my problem with them though. I coloured a model which I split into multiple objects, that already have a UV map, using base colour. If I try to bake to another UV, I keep the colour but lose the detail from the original UV map. Is it even possible to bake the colours but keep the black and white detail that existed on the original UV? Note, in render mode the details are also lost.
sorry your having issues. I don't know why.
Hey, awesome that you made a tutorial about this. im NOT good at blender, so i really appreciate your video.
I have only one comment on your UVmap creation (the only this i know about that prosses i can comment on haha!)
If you are using this in Unreal Engine later, then you can NOT have spaces in the file names. It will not be accepted by Unreal Eninge since it's not supporting spaces in names :)
So it's better to use something like this: UVMap_baked (_) instead of space
Thanks for the info! I've never used Unreal engine, so I didn't know that.
What if it is multiple objects each with a combination of procedural and UV maps and you are baking to a single UV map? Not just one object.
This works great for Diffuse Maps!
It could also work on transferring normal maps by using diffuse map bake settings. 👍 BUT-
Warning:
This only works in Blender as you can redirect it with the UV Map node like the video,
but the OLD UV map layout camera in ▽ Data Properties has to be ON.
The color of the image may also be lighter than the original so you'll need to adjust that...
If you plan to transfer your model to another program (like Unity),
this may serve as a problem. Idk if it's possible to do the same thing.
Searched everywhere for weeks on a solution; but came up with NO easy solve.
Normal maps are just too different from Diffuse maps.
So re-doing normal map bakes for your NEW UV map layout is unavoidable sadly. :(
Make sure to keep your HIGH poly versions until the end of your project everyone!
but how to do i copy UV map islands from one map to other
Baked meatball. Yum!
Haha yeah 😄
Thanks for the tutorial! If I may you are not correct with the fact that "samples does not influence baking results". They indeed do when you are baking lights too.
Ahh yes your right. Also when baking something like ambient occlusion the samples effect the bake I think.
How can i bake the texture of a single object onto another texture from another object? That is, like if it where in photoshop you add a layer onto another layer. I have a character body already textured and i want to bake the texture of an earring which is a separated object and add it to the body texture
Under the Bake section in the render properties tab, there is a checkbox in the output options called "clear image", if you uncheck that and bake. It will bake the image over the previous one without erasing the image.
OMG, sounds so good! I will try it when i get home. Thanks!!@@oswaldtehseal471
Can anyone help me, the bake uses the wrong UV even though I have it set up right in the node panel (baking from uv->baking from material->output, then baking to uv->baking to image (selected))
I had to select the map being baked to in Data -> UV Maps too
hi, i have a problem, when i have a high poly and low poly, i want to bake the high poly details to low poly but when i do that the uvs are different and the texture is wrong, does anyone know how to fix it?
hmm, I'd like to make a video on how to bake high poly to low poly sometime.
Here are some tuts you can check out

Ive set it up exactly like yours yes i get a black image after bake.
Happens sometimes just do it again
So, that might be because you have a metallic node plugged to your principled bsdf OR you have not set the metallic value to 0 before baking
👍👍👍
thanks!
I am getting "uninitialized image error" every time i am following this process.. please HELP 😢
I love your videos I post blender tutorial too 😍
thanks!
has anyone made an addon to simplify this?
I think the addon called "Quick Baker" can do this. I have a video on my channel showing how to use quick baker.
@@RyanKingArt LIFE SAVER.
Please just use the UV Editing workspace. Workspaces exist for a reason.
3:30 to GET TO THE POINT! Oooh, watch me Blender!!
?
Remember if you're baking out AO, you need to crank the # of samples back up.
thanks for the tip 👍
I'm a newbie in blender. I don't get the point for doing this. :D Loved the video as always, tho.
I explain why you'd need to do this at the starting of the video.
@@RyanKingArt my guy even has it as a time stamp SMH
No matter how many times I do this, my textures come out black. My metallic is at 0 and there is no metallic texture. I have followed countless tutorials, I am at a loss here.
I apologize. I am an idiot sandwich. Each time I tried I kept missing a step. finally got it in one go without messing anything up and it worked great. Thank you for this tutorial.
glad you figured it out!
@@RyanKingArt I am very thankful for your video. I actually went thru youtube and your videos were the only ones covering this topic that I could find. I am going to subscribe and start learning from you. this knowledge that you give out for free is professional tier. We are lucky to have you sharing with us!
@@Schaken-Mods What did you figure out? I'm having the same issue. I got it to work once and thought I repeated the steps exactly as before but my texture keeps coming out black. Learning hurts my brain. :/
@@EllieMayHillsdale keep making sure the metallic is all the way down, have the new UV selected as well as the mesh and the texture you want it baked to. That seems to be the key. alot of this was not mentioned here, I assume he does it enough he just assumed we all knew this.
jirect and injirect
Thanks
you're welcome!
