For those that work with Interactive Ambient , Arch Viz, Games… and need a Blender Baking Solution for your Assets, Full scenes, High Poly to Low Poly Normal Maps and others, Bake Tool is just what you need.

What is the BakeTool?
BakeTool is an add-on for Blender 2.7x, 2.8x, 2.9x and Blender 3.0 (version 2.5x or above) that redesigns the way that Blender Bake works with a more coherent and easier workflow.
