What is Quick Baker?

Quick Baker is a texture-baking add-on for Blender that works through the application's native baking operator to produce PBR, Mesh, Principled BSDF, and Cycles maps. It targets scenes with multiple objects carrying multiple materials, baking them into a single texture or into separate textures.

The add-on handles both high-to-low and low-to-low poly baking, and it sets up the cage automatically. It also covers UDIM baking along with Material ID and Vertex Color maps. Documentation and a demo video are available.

Quick Baker is compatible with Blender versions 3.3 through 5.1, ships as an add-on under the GPL license, and is registered as Blender Extension compatible. B3dHub is a Blender Development Fund contributor, and the add-on holds a 5-star rating across 29 reviews with more than 900 sales.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Quick Baker support?

Quick Baker is compatible with Blender versions 3.3 through 5.1 and is registered as Blender Extension compatible. It ships as an add-on, so it installs into Blender rather than running on its own. If you're on a version within that range, it should be supported. For versions outside 3.3 to 5.1, or to confirm compatibility with a specific build, check the developer's page for the current details.

Is Quick Baker free to use?

Quick Baker is listed as free in this catalog and is distributed as an add-on under the GPL license. Licensing terms can change and the developer offers more than one tier, so check B3dHub's page for the current options and any per-seat details before you commit to a particular arrangement. The GPL license governs the add-on's code itself, and the listing notes B3dHub is a Blender Development Fund contributor. For the most accurate and up-to-date licensing information, the developer's page is the place to look.

Does Quick Baker set up the cage for high-to-low baking automatically?

Quick Baker includes an automatic cage setup, so you don't have to configure the cage by hand before you bake. It supports both high-to-low and low-to-low poly baking, and its automatic cage handling is one of the ways it simplifies the baking process. The add-on works through Blender's native baking operator and produces PBR, Mesh, Principled BSDF, and Cycles maps, so the cage setup fits into that same baking pipeline.

Can Quick Baker bake multiple objects and materials at once?

Quick Baker is built for baking multiple objects that carry multiple materials. It can combine them into a single texture or output them as separate textures, depending on what you need. It works through Blender's native baking operator and produces PBR, Mesh, Principled BSDF, and Cycles maps, along with UDIM, Material ID, and Vertex Color output. It also handles both high-to-low and low-to-low poly baking, with an automatic cage setup for those bakes.
