► Vertex Texture Baker ◄

Vertex Texture Baker is run-time and editor solution for baking textures inside mesh vertex buffers.

Supported textures types:
• Texture2D
• RenderTexture
• Cubemap
• Camera render texture (skybox, environment lighting, etc)
• Baked lighmaps

Editor tools allows baking simultaneously 8 textures inside any mesh vertex buffers (vertex color, uv0 - uv7, normal, tangent) and inside any channels of them (R, G, B, A).
Textures can be combined and merged before baking them inside mesh.

Vertex Texture Baker is part of the Amazing Tools Bundle.

Hello! This looks fantastic. One question I have though, we're using a very specific material shader for our project, if I'm understanding correctly textures baked to vertex colors don't use a material. Would this addon still be viable for us? Or does it only support the pipeline's default material?

 

Data can be baked not only in the vertex color, but inside any mesh vertex buffer or its individual channel (for example UV2.x, or UV5.z, or Tangent.w and so on).
All you have to do in the custom shader is just read that value.

@Arkhivrag can this tool work well with your Convert Vertex Color To Texture? Thanks

 

Yes, work together perfectly.
But note: Texture Baker can bake data inside any mesh vertex buffer (uv0 - uv7, normal, tangent, color).
Convert Vertex Color To Texture reads data only only from mesh vertex color buffer. Also triangles must not overlap each other or generated texture may not be correct.

Do you think this tool would play nicely with the vertex color baking done in an external lightmapper like bakery? Would I just set the texture2d target to multiply?

Also, do you know if baking to mesh vertex plays well with your tessellation shader?

 

You can bake any texture inside a mesh.
Beast tessellation shader doesn't support vertex color.
