[HOU-1429] Baking objects

[racoonart]

Hi,
I'm currently trying to bake one object to another (basecolor, normals, etc), so basically baking game models from a high res geo. However I am unable to find out if or how it's meant to be done in Vray4houdini. I can't make it work and the bake section is not documented. All I can do is render 1 object in UV space.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And what do you expect it to do?

To bake data other than beauty pass add render elements.

I want to bake a high-res geo object onto a low-res geo object. I don't see any way to specify a high res geo to bake from.

We have projection baking implemented in V-Ray but I'm not sure it's exposed in Houdini - will have to check.

Best regards,

That would be great, thanks!

DeadClown, yes, that's not yet implemented, I see those parameters at the bake plugin, should be pretty easy to add.

Great! Hope to be able to try it out soon
