Maintained across multiple releases with fixes for instances and added curved-object baking, and compatible with Blender versions from 3.6 through 4.4.
Bake Geometry Animation is an add-on for Blender that bakes geometry node animation to mesh. It handles baking for a single geometry motion object and for the motion type of instances inside the geometry node, and later versions added baking support for curved objects. Animation can also be exported to glTF.
The add-on has been maintained across several releases, with recent updates addressing instance-related bugs and extending baking to curved objects. It is compatible with a broad range of Blender versions, from 3.6 through 4.4, giving it coverage across both older and current installations.
Documentation is provided, and a demo video is available for those who want to see the add-on before working with it. Published by 螺旋爆肝, it is licensed under GPL and carries a rating from a handful of reviews on Superhive, where it sits at popularity rank 837.
Bake Geometry Animation is best for blender users who need to bake geometry node animation to mesh or export it to glTF.
Bake Geometry Animation is completely free to download and use.
Bake Geometry Animation lists compatibility with Blender 4.4, 4.3, 4.2, 4.1, 4.0 and 3.6. That range covers both current releases and older installations still on the 3.6 line, so most Blender users should find a supported version for their setup. For the most accurate compatibility details and any updates that extend beyond this list, check the developer's page on Superhive before installing the add-on.
Bake Geometry Animation can export geometry node animation to glTF, a capability included since its first release. Alongside export, it bakes geometry node animation to mesh, bakes single geometry motion objects, and bakes the motion type for instances inside the geometry node. Recent versions also added baking support for curved objects. Refer to the included documentation for details on the export workflow.
Bake Geometry Animation is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and pricing can change over time, so for current terms it is best to check the developer's page on Superhive directly. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license and is published by 螺旋爆肝. Documentation and a demo video are available to review, so you can see how the add-on works before you install it in your own Blender projects.
