Yeah totally agree. Every time I watch a tutorial, people say “I’ve already shown you this so I’ll skip it” or “I’ll just speed this part up” and then you’re lost! This video has been a massive help.
*I forgot to mention in the tutorial:* Before baking any texture maps that are not contributing to the base color, (Roughness, Metallic, Normal) *You should set the image's color space to Non Color data.* However, when baking the color map, you should keep it set to sRGB. *I go over this in my Texture Baking for Beginners Tutorial:* ➡th-cam.com/video/Se8GdHptD4A/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, this is helping me for my game I am making! Probably the best blender tutorial i have found yet, feels like you put every second of this video into good use
An excellent and thorough tutorial into a subject that is not often covered. Thank you! However, I am astounded by complex this is in Blender. It makes me appreciate your tutorial all the more.
This is awesome! I've always wondered how to do this whenever I've looked at texture maps. Then Mr King comes along to say: "I gotchu bro" by dropping a video showing exactly how it's done! I'm looking forward to checking this out. Thank Ryan! 😃 Happy Taco Tuesday to you! 😃
I love your tutorials! No getting bogged down with trying to explain E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G! Assuming that people who are at this stage in their Blender journey don't need a grounds-up explanation! Keep 'em coming!
Really enjoy your tutorials! You helped me A LOT with your brushed metal tutorial as I needed it for stainless steel carriages. Not sure if anyone has mentioned, but you can bake the metallic to the texture image as long as you lower the value from 1 to .5! 1) Enable Ambient Occlusion in World Properties 2) Disable 'Glossy and Transmission' in the Bake properties and uncheck 'Clear image' set marge to 8 px 'In Blender 2.79b uncheck Subsurface* 3) Bake, now watch the magic! Notes: I would recommend keeping the bake type as 'Combine'. Giving you better results on the texture image. If however, you want to darken the texture change the bake type to 'Diffuse'. You will also need to keep the lighting 'Direct' and 'Indirect' enabled. 😁😁😁😁😁
After watching over half a dozen tutorials this is the first one that I've seen that is actually detailed and understandable. Thanks so much for all of the effort that you put into this.
Can't explain with words how much you have helped me.. I was desperate and frustated, but you explained this clearly and easily for a begginer like me. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I was going crazy trying to get multiple objects and textures to bake into one solid texture for me, and you explained it all very quickly. How to get it to show up like the material preview, how to make it bake faster, and how to do it all to one thing. I didn't realize I needed multiple target images in all relevant textures!
You are a lifesaver man, I could not figure out how to do this for the life of me. I was trying to create a wetmap for an object with multiple textures and it was a real pain. Thank You for making this so simple to follow
Thanks for mentioning that samples properties when baking. I have been wondering why it took me ages to bake some textures. That saved me a lot of time!
If you don't want to delete the Old UvMap you can change what uv map the image uses by adding a UV map node in the shader editor (Shift+a, Input, Uv Map) and connecting it to the image node in the vector attribute, in the UV Map node you can select what UV map is applied to the image
I learnt this stuff years ago. Could not remember exactly how to do it again. Very well explained. Your an asset to the creative community mate A++. All the best.
Also works on materials that use multiple textures to modify edges. I had a problem with that one for some time, turns out all i had to do was disconnect the metalic maps. Before when i did not i got only a messed up bunch of random hexagons. This also goes if you already combined all the elements via boolean into one object and it has multiple materials already. Thanks for this one! Awesome video
The Smart UV Project is such a life saver, there are just these things that Blender has that are incredible, but you dont know about them. You could probably do a video of many Blender tricks or features that are not known by many.
NICE!!!! for my game i would always have like a bajilion materials for all models, thank god that my game is still early in development and once i will revamp graphics and i will polish stuff, i will definetly remake some of em models like this, cuz this is good for video games and now i know how you can bake this one, very nice man
Sick tutorial. I wish Blender made it like select all models > bake all into one texture for each texture category (diffuse, metallic, etc). Like a own rendering function where you can then save all maps at once and you don't need to think about bakeUV and bake image texture inside your materials.
+Thank you ! a Quick tip is to activate the wrangler add-on and then selecting the BSDF and hitting CTRL + SHIFT + T, then clicking A to select all the images baked at ones and open it, and done its automaticly ! you don't need to create a lot of image textures
Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated, liked subscribed. A very simplistic step by step a tutorial that includes an explanation to why are we clicking here and there so we newbies could understand, excellent video!
Thanks! I was able to skip a couple of steps as my UV's were made to fit together before I had materials I needed to combine, but this was the only place I could find a proper way to get all my different textures combined properly! Looks great, and less files I need to keep in my game. Thanks! EDIT: To add the one issue I had - my emission strength was set to 0 for some reason, setting it to 1 fixed it
Blender's procedure for texture baking is needlessly convoluted, so thank you for this very clear and concise tutorial on a subject that has always confused me. A couple of questions: How do you even get a metalness map? How do you make one, if you can't bake the metal data to a texture? Could I just bake a greyscale version of the diffuse or bake the roughness map to the emission socket? Thanks.
If you have no metallic map, but you want the object to be metallic, you could just use a plain color map. Black if you don't want it to be metallic, and white if you want it to be fully metallic.
Wow, this is such an incredible tutorial to understand this workflow. Thanks Ryan, you're the best!! I was wondering if you could do a tutorial for the game assets workflow?
Awesome, been trying to figure this out for years. Only thing is, you have so many similar tutorials on this subject that it took a while to figure out exactly which tutorial to follow :P
once again this is the best tutorial for blender you just go straight to the point and you always give important details, btw i had a question for the roughness image texture did you leave it as sRGB color intentionally? i thought we should use non-color for this one
*Watch the New Updated Tutorial:* th-cam.com/video/eE7FedDW2AI/w-d-xo.html
Hello, what happens if you have multiple textures (1024 or 2048) thats more than 4, it is going to be a bigger number than 4096?
Finally someone who explains it step by step without going a million miles per hour and skipping 5% of the steps! Thank you! This is gold!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching : )
Yeah totally agree. Every time I watch a tutorial, people say “I’ve already shown you this so I’ll skip it” or “I’ll just speed this part up” and then you’re lost! This video has been a massive help.

Would it work to just switch with the preview button by the uv maps? (The camera icon) or does that do something else entirely
@@joshuaanderson6609 Umm, I'm not sure. You could try it and see. But I think the preview button is only to preview the different UV maps.
It works it will hopefully save time with lightmaps too..
Cool 👍

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH
you're welcome! 👍
Most of the time I don't even understand what you say, your actions make me realize my mistakes. Thank you very much.
Easily easiest to follow Blender guides on TH-cam
thanks
This is great. Honestly a game changer for me when combing/joining objects into one when they have different textures. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Super useful! I had a scattered understanding of a lot of these, but this video really brought it together!
Glad it was helpful!
I've always had problems with that, thanks for the clarification Ryan ;D

This was EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much! Great tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks alot, that metallic tip saved me, I was getting a black output on my diffuse bake and didn't know what was causing it!
Glad it helped! thanks for watching.
3 days back I spent hours not being able to bake material - until I found out the metalic problems. Sad I havent watched this video before
yeah I wish Blender just fixed that issue automatically, but you have to do some different stuff for baking metallic maps.
Great tutorial, had exactly what I needed. nothing more, nothing less.
Glad it helped!
Excellent walkthrough; thank you so, so much!
glad you like it!
Just what I needed for a work project, life saver
Glad it was helpful!
Thank's a lot! Right now I was making assets for a game and wanted to simplify the amount of textures
cool! Thanks for watching!
Wow, this definitely needs to be simplified. It'd be nice if you could just select "Combine Object Texture Maps" or something like that.
Yeah I agree. Blender could totally use an upgrade on its baking tools.
sir, you have just saved my university project
Glad it was helpful!
That is a neat trick. I have been doing that with nodes for a while, but never thought to do it with another image.
Thanks!
Thanks! I was able to skip a couple of steps as my UV's were made to fit together before I had materials I needed to combine, but this was the only place I could find a proper way to get all my different textures combined properly! Looks great, and less files I need to keep in my game. Thanks!

THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WAS SO USEFUL I FINALLY GOT TO IMPORT MY MODEL WITHOUT DISTORTED TEXTURES ONTO ROBLOX
glad it helped!
i love this blender channel, thanks for this video!!!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching 😀
thanks , i make the model from SketchUp and want to bake texture to another texture and this tutorial is helped me
glad it helped!
Brilliant! Thank you so much, I learnt a lot from this tut. I was needing to bake one mat for a Daz model.
Thanks for watching!
Your tutorials are on another level....thank you

If you have no metallic map, but you want the object to be metallic, you could just use a plain color map. Black if you don't want it to be metallic, and white if you want it to be fully metallic.
Or if the object has no metal, then you can just ignore the metallic part.
@@TheGoonyBin Excellent, thanks. I will search for one then.
@@RyanKingArt ah, thanks that is very helpful. So it works like a roughness map.
OMG! I love you now. Amazing tutorial man!
Glad you liked it!
oh, yeah, this time im gonna bake those textures
hope the video helps!
For those who's axe look to dull and light in colour, bake the roughness in the emission shader the same as the metal bake shown in the video
Thanks 👍
thank you! I had to remake Metal and Roughness maps. This comment helped a lot!
génial mon pote tu es un crack merci du partage ca va me changer la vie
glad it helped
Top notch tutorial(s).

"make sure that nothing is over lapping " :) yeeees i would never do something like thaaaaat.....
Lol. 🙂
Awesome, been trying to figure this out for years. Only thing is, you have so many similar tutorials on this subject that it took a while to figure out exactly which tutorial to follow :P
thank u so much, u are the legend we need
glad it helped!
Wow!!! Ps. If you’re like me and have a weak computer it will take like ten minutes to do the bake.
Yeah, if you turn the sampling down, it will bake faster.
@@RyanKingArt I didn’t realize that, sometimes the default settings are for high end hardware, and it can be difficult to find the correct settings
just what I needed. Thank you.
You're welcome!
once again this is the best tutorial for blender you just go straight to the point and you always give important details,
btw i had a question for the roughness image texture did you leave it as sRGB color intentionally? i thought we should use non-color for this one
yes that was a mistake I made in the tutorial. Your supposed to set the roughness to non color before you bake it.
Just what I was looking for. Great tutorial. keep up the good work.
Glad it helped!
Wow very helpfull. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
had to refresh my memory, been a while, thanks!
I just thought of doing this yesterday, thank you so much!

Thanks !!! I Will try It for sure!!!!
Cool!
That metalness tip saved my sanity.
Glad it helped! 🙂
Thanks... i should have seen this video earlier... I baked like 6-7 different textures separately Hahahah
