Baking lightmaps in blender using the addon I scripted last year!

It's good to have old code retaining utility.

This is cool! Does it bake directly to the base color texture, or create a separate texture that gets layered in materials?

It has two modes, one where it bakes surface color + light into the texture, and another that is bounce lighting only without the surface texture.

in this video it's replacing the material with an unlit image sampler. with the bounce lighting it would need a custom shader

Looks really solid. Are you planning to release it anywhere?

It's rough around the edges

It's based on collections so materials need to be cloned so they don't bake to the wrong image texture

Will throw an error if bake selection contains non mesh object, or if one of the objects does not have a uv2 attribute.
