Baking maps in Blender

About

If you wish to bake material IDs, or any other type of baking (similar to what Substance Painter does) I recommend my favorite Blender plugin: TexTools.

 

Requirements

At the time of this writing, use Blender 4.2.x which can be found here

Textools can be download here. Click the green Code button and select Download zip. In Blender, go to Edit/Preferences. Select Add-ons on the left. In the top-right most corner is a small down arrow button. Select that button and choose Install from Disk... Select the ZIP you just downloaded. Add-ons are activated by clicking the checkbox if not already.
