Baking textures in Corona C4D

Corona Corona for Cinema 4D General
1

Hi there,
untill now I hadn’t had the need for baking textures in C4D Corona.
I was very surprised to find out Corona for C4D does not offer that atm.
The main reason I need baking is to export the procedural material, for setting up the scene in Unreal.

Since I’m not very familliar witht the Corona roadmap, I wanted to ask you guys:

  1. Is baking on the Cinem c4d roadmap in the near future? Or at all?
  2. Is there a good workaround? Maybe corona->vray conversion and then baking? Something else I might have missed?

Any insights in this problem/workflow/pipeline very much apreciated!
Best,
Matej

It’s not on the roadmap at all at this point in time - and ofc the Ideas Portal is where you can have everyone can have their say on wanting this https://chaoscorona.ideas.aha.io/ :smiley:

I’m afraid that baking might be never supported in Corona. In 3ds Max we have half-ass implementation, but mostly because it was done very long time ago, when Corona wasn’t sure where it’s going. Now when Corona is firmly positioning itself as archviz only engine, texture baking is considered as very low priority feature.
