Create a bake set

You can create your own bake sets to be able to bake objects in different ways. To create a bake set, you must have an object in your scene that you want to assign to the bake set.

To create a bake set

1. Selected one or more objects for which you want to create a bake set.
2. Use one of the following methods to assign the bake set:
   • Click Lighting/shading > Assign New Bake Set > Texture Bake Set (to create a Texture Bake Set) or Vertex Bake Set (to create a Vertex Bake Set).
   • Right click the object, then select Baking > Assign New Bake Set > Texture Bake Set or Vertex Bake Set.
   • Use the MEL command:

     createNode [textureBakeSet|vertexBakeSet]

   The new bake set’s attributes appear in the Attribute Editor (unless the Attribute Editor has been hidden).

3. Adjust the bake set’s attributes, see Adjust bake set attributes.
