SimpleBake is the definitive baking solution for Blender. In short, it allows you to simply bake PBR and other textures.

Blender provides a very powerful way to create complex PBR materials by using nodes. However, what should be a simple process of baking and exporting these materials for use with other software or systems (Substance Painter, Second Life, Sketchfab, Unity etc.) is surprisingly difficult.

SimpleBake aims to address this problem. SimpleBake is an addon / tool that provides a one-click solution for simply baking PBR maps from materials created in Blender.

However, SimpleBake isn’t just an add-on for PBR. You can easily bake all of the “traditional” Cycles bake modes, along with other kinds of specialist maps (Ambient Occlusion, Curvature, Thickness, Vertex Colours and Colour ID).

Traditional or “Cycles Baking”

Traditional Baking – Bake any of the “traditional” Cycles bake modes (Combined, Roughness, Normal etc). SimpleBake will handle all the node setup and a tonne of other things that make baking in Blender a pain. As many materials on your object(s) as you want.
Colour Space – Choose your colour space for baked images. Choose whether or not to use this colour space in your exported files.
General (apply to all baking)

Presets – Create and save your own presets and use them across your blend files.
Bake in the background – Queue up a number of different baking tasks to bake in the background while you continue to work in Blender. Each task can be given a name. When it’s finished, import the textures and/or objects into Blender.etc

SOME CHANGELOGS BELOW:

Version 2.8.2
3 June 2026
NEWSmart UV Project now exposes Angle Limit, Area Weight, and Scale to Bounds controls in the UV section of the bake panel.
ENHANCEMENTMenu Switch selections set on a node group are now preserved when the group is unpacked for baking. Previously, ungrouping a node group containing a Menu Switch lost the chosen menu option and reverted to the Menu Switch’s internal default.
Version 2.8.1
28 May 2026
BUGFIXAuto-generate cage is now disabled when the target object is hidden in the viewport, preventing a Blender crash and showing a clearer tooltip.
Version 2.8.0
27 May 2026
NEWNode Bake panel in the Shader Editor (SimpleBake tab). Select any node, choose an output socket, set resolution, and bake directly to an image texture. Optionally replaces the socket with a wired Image Texture node after baking.
Version 2.7.9
26 May 2026
BUGFIXFixed material preparation for PBR bakes where a valid surface Principled BSDF exists alongside additional linked Principled nodes in the same material.
