Instant Image Baker

Instant Image Baker supports Blender versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. It works inside the material editor, where it creates an image node and bakes down your node setup. If you are running one of these listed versions you can use the tool as intended. For versions outside this range, check the developer's page to confirm compatibility before relying on it in a project, since only these releases are stated as supported.

Instant Image Baker bakes a node setup down to an image with a click of a button. It works by creating an image node in the material editor and gives you a convenient way to set which passes you want to bake and the resolution of the final created texture. Once configured, it bakes out an image from your setup. Documentation is included, and a tutorial and demo video are available if you want to follow the process step by step.

Instant Image Baker includes a quick blur node feature that creates a blur node you can use for your shading process. It sits alongside the main baking function in the material editor, giving you a fast way to add this node. The description does not detail every step for the blur node, so see the included documentation or the tutorial for more on how it fits into a shading workflow. The feature is stated simply as creating a blur node for shading.
