Earns its place in the Autodesk App Store library by turning an Adaptive Subdivision result into baked geometry that keeps its GI effect during real-time Nitrous playback.
BakeRadiosity is a 3ds Max plugin that changes an Adaptive Subdivision result into a new mesh object. The lighting calculation results are baked onto that mesh's vertices, so the global illumination stays attached to the geometry rather than being recomputed.
With the Nitrous feature, the GI effect can be given to walk-through and real-time viewing. That makes it a fit for background data creation for games or for Design Visualization previews, where lit geometry needs to play back interactively.
Typical uses include background stage model creation and real-time Design Visualization content creation. The plugin is listed at version 1.0.0, and its most recent update added 2024 support without changing the version number. A demo video is available on the developer's page for anyone who wants a closer look before installing.
BakeRadiosity is best for background stage model creation and real-time Design Visualization content creation.
BakeRadiosity is completely free to download and use.
BakeRadiosity added 2024 support in its most recent update, which was applied without changing the version number. The plugin is listed at version 1.0.0, with that update dated 2023-07-20. For the full list of supported 3ds Max releases and any later additions, check the developer's page, since compatibility details can change with newer builds after this update.
BakeRadiosity changes an Adaptive Subdivision result into a new mesh object, then bakes the lighting calculation results onto that mesh's vertices. Because the global illumination is stored on the geometry itself, the GI effect can be carried into walk-through and real-time viewing through the Nitrous feature. This approach suits background data creation for games and Design Visualization previews.
BakeRadiosity bakes the lighting calculation onto mesh vertices, and through the Nitrous feature the GI effect can be given to walk-through and real-time viewing. That makes it applicable to real-time Design Visualization content creation and to background data creation for games, where lit geometry needs to display interactively rather than being re-rendered each time.
BakeRadiosity is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so for the current details and any conditions attached to its use, refer to the developer's page. From there you can also find the download and a demo video that covers the plugin.
