PBR texture baking ? Tweet

[zabadoy]

Hello All,

I've got a C4D / Octane scene that I would like to export to Unity.
I tried to bake the textures following the guidelines from the manual : Creating a Baking camera, assigning Octane object tags with baking ID's to UV'ed meshes.
It works as expected from manual, but the result is that I have a single "final" image with all the lights and shadows from the scene affecting it.

But my goal is to export the meshes to the game engine, and retexture with new materials and lights inside it, so I was thinking about baking my octane materials channels maps for a PBR workflow inside the game engine.
For example for a wood material, where I have a bunch of nodes in each channels, I wanted to bake images corresponding to each channel : Diffuse Map, Roughness Map, Reflection Map, Displacement map, etc... So I could recreate shaders inside the game engine, assigning my own "made maps" to each channel, a bit like if I downloaded a whole material from poliigon.com with PBR image maps for each channel.

Is that possible ? I suppose I have to make render passes and render to picture viewer but I don't really know what passes to choose as they are so many, and I don't want lighting influence from the scene.
Pardon the noob question, it's the first time I do texture baking and I don't have much experiences with passes, so any guidelines would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

Hi,
you need to use the Material passes:

Hi Beppe,

I didn't know about material passes, thanks a lot !
