how to bake the colormap but without the black background?

Fantastic tutorial! The right level of detail and pace to actually follow up the description (whereas others just fly the mouse across the screen or use the shortcuts without calling them out). This is the topic I was looking for. Thank you so much, Ryan! I’ll sure be supporting your channel.

Hi thank you very much for the amazing tutorial, really clear! I'm using blender 4.1 and it seems a little different, I do not have the viewer node. I tried to bake the metallic map in 2 ways. First method i used directly an emission shader (following what you where saying in the tutorial). Second method i connected the metallic color ramp to the emission input in the principled BSDF and i turned the strength to 1. It seems that i get the same result with both methods but i'm a beginner and i just wanted to be sure that what i'm doing is correct. Also there is a new option in the baking, the "View From", i kept the default "Above surface"

I'm really sorry that I can no longer assume my contribution to your superb work, but in Europe everyday things are becoming too expensive. but I will always follow your lessons. thank you.

I trained countless people on CAD/CAM systems and can say from experience that you do an excellent job of getting information across. Let me ask a couple quick questions, I am working strictly in Blender so sending textures to other programs is not an issue, on the other hand, I will be using EEVEE a lot for animation purposes and will be needing some textures baked for appearance I can't get straight out of EEVEE. So my question is, in a procedural texture, what are some signs I'm hitting a breaking point in performance when baking would be the way to go? Is it the number of nodes, the type of nodes? In Blender Studio's tutorials there are some monster node trees being created for relatively simple result. I know the tutorials are for training and not necessarily general use but, just going through some of them you can't help but think a processor has got to drag when you have 50, 100, or more nodes building up. If I'm going to animate with EEVEE, would I want to go all baking or keep simpler procedural trees in the character/object?

easy to understand, thank you!

Working through this in 3.3 and discovered that the viewer node no long seems to exist. The function seems to be implemented in the material node now. However if you attach the metallic color ramp directly to the material node (via CTRL-SHIFT-LMB) it bakes metallic OK. Also, when baking metallic the metallic setting in the Principled shader no longer seems to matter.

Great Tutorial! Although I am kind of confused: I modelled a sword with the metal being fine, but the handle has a leather texture, and for some reason the same procedure (except setting the rgb to black for the metallic, since leather isnt metal) it won't work when I put the baked textures together. Can you enlighten me why that is and how to bypass that problem?

6:02 when I do the "smart UV unwrap" it not only changes the UV in the current image (the black image created just for that) but it also messes with the "real" UV of the source image used as a texture on the mesh. I can see it because just when I do "smart UV unwrap" the texture gets all messed up in the layout viewport.

Thanks for the tutorial! Looking forward rendering things in Eevee that I used to need Cycles for (like anything with pointiness/bevel masks). I had one question though. At 13:18 you talk about baking a metallic map if you're just using a single value instead of a texture. If I have an object that's uniformly 100% metallic, I bake an all white image. If it's uniformly 0% metallic, I bake an all black image. So... Why bake them? If I bake my color/roughness/normal maps and hook them up to a new material, couldn't I just set the metallic value to 1 or 0 in the new Principled BSDF?

@RyanKingArt

Yes, you could totally do that, but I think maybe some game engines and other programs might actually need a metallic map. Don't know for sure, but if you wanted to bake a metallic map, that's how its done.

Check to make sure you have a good UV Map, and use as much of the texture space as you can with the UV map, so it can use more pixels.

You are very, very good at explaining the work flow. One question though. How come there isn't an automized function for this very straight forward procedure in Blender? I mean, in 9 out of 10 situations, every step should be quite the same? Imagine if you have a more complex object with tons of materials? This manual method cannot be the only way to do it? Or, perhaps, I have missed some important info in your tutorial since I (just realized) missed half of your tutorial since I was linked directly to the 11-minute mark by google... Then I apologize :). If not - an automation of this should take a Blender Developer a day or two to implement? So, why not? Kinda obvious functionality?
