Bake Node Sync earns its place in the Superhive library by doing one thing directly: pushing the active node into every material on the selected objects, and building it where it's missing. Support for both Cycles and Eevee keeps it usable across either render engine.
Bake Node Sync focuses on a single task in Blender's shader editor: taking the active node and syncing it across all materials on the selected objects. When an object carries multiple materials, the add-on locates the matching node in each one, and where a match doesn't exist, it creates the missing node. It aims to make multi-material baking and texture workflows faster and easier.
The add-on runs in Blender versions 4.5 through 5.1 and works with both Cycles and Eevee. It's released under the GPL license, and documentation is provided alongside it. A demo video is also available for anyone who wants a look before installing.
For artists working with objects that hold many material slots, Bake Node Sync earns its place in the Superhive library by handling that node setup across a whole selection, propagating one node into every material at once rather than one material at a time.
Bake Node Sync is best for blender artists working with objects that carry multiple materials and need matching nodes kept in sync for baking and texture work.
Bake Node Sync is completely free to download and use.
Bake Node Sync is compatible with Blender versions 4.5 through 5.1, so it covers that range of releases. Within a supported version, the add-on operates in the shader editor, taking the active node and syncing it across all materials on the objects you've selected, and creating a matching node in any material that lacks one. Before installing, it's worth confirming your exact Blender build falls inside the 4.5 to 5.1 range listed on the developer's page, since versions outside that window aren't noted as supported here.
Bake Node Sync works with both Cycles and Eevee, the two render engines noted for it. That means the node-syncing workflow is available whether your materials are set up for Cycles or Eevee. The add-on finds the matching node in each material of your selected objects and creates it where it's missing, with the goal of speeding up multi-material baking and texture work. For any engine-specific setup details, check the documentation that comes with the add-on before you start.
Bake Node Sync is released under the GPL license, the same license family Blender itself uses. For most users that means the add-on's source is open and can be studied or modified within the terms of the GPL. If you plan to redistribute or build on it, review the full license conditions on the developer's page rather than relying on a summary. Documentation is also provided with the add-on, which is a good starting point for usage and installation specifics.
Bake Node Sync is listed here as free, though licensing terms can change over time. For the current details and to download it, head to the developer's page on Superhive. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license and ships with documentation, and a demo video is available if you'd like a look at it first. Checking the developer's page also confirms the latest information on Blender compatibility and any updates made since this card was written.
