Title: Dabarti Texture baking for corona
Post by: phunter on 2018-08-08, 10:37:38

Hi,

I have seen this script for vray which bakes down your textures to a single map made by Dabarti. Really useful for optimisation and getting a more streamline pipeline into UE4.
I wondered if anyone has seen the exact same script for corona?
If I was good enough at maxscript I would try to modify this one:)  Can anyone help?

You can bake maps with 3ds max's native tools as well, although not as conveniently as with aforementioned script, slate material editor has built in feature - render map. It won't bake geometry depending maps like AO and won't help to simplify blended/layered materials, but for basic needs it's quite ok.

Certainly looks like if the corona material has the same controls exposed via maxscript this could very easily be adapted.
