Baking shadows in blender

[doug65536]

"No objects or images found to back to". Blender baking is buggy and a waste of time.

@onlineboxingdotnet...

You can take this image and blend it in photoshop via multply filter or somthing to make your original texture have shadows?

Tell me if I'm wrong. And I would assume GIMP can do a multiply filter and GIMP is free.

wow, you really know how to use blender. nice vid.

[onlineboxingdotnet]

Problem with this though, is that you overwrite any texture you already have...so in fact, what ur left with is only "shadows" and nothing else..so this is in fact, unusable.

Whenever you bake textures, it bakes onto the original image, but it doesn't replace it

[CandGPxexpert]

wut if your gorund isnt just a flat plane? and wut if the object casting a shadow isnt a simple cube?

Thanks! :)

thank you very much, i have been trying to figure this out because i made a glass cage around my water simulation and it always made a BLACK shadow so that i could not see anything. Now that i have watched this, I fixed my problem.

again, thank you

[RadditzZ]

nice

got the sound from Theme Hospital? :D

[Radmanlive]

does this method work for shadows in the game engine?

[Ki12B]

[moffboffjoe]

Gracias Gespertino! "el que sabe sabe!"

ryutenchi:

for the bake menu: CTRL+ALT+B

unwrap menu: U

[gespertino]

Buenísimo el tutorial. Una sugerencia nomás: usá siempre tamaños de textura de base 2 (256,512,1024,2048 y así). Eso acelera muchísimo el procesamiento de la textura en el baking, el render y el texture paint.

[ryutenchi]

what's the shortcut key for baking?

[mrprofile101]

ALT+A

[Bleenderhead]

What?! No it's not! That's to animate. Ctrl alt b is bake.

[ilhadosmacacos]

ALT+F4

[Bleenderhead]

ctrl alt b.
