Blender 3.4 - Baking Texture Atlases Tutorial
For my Stardew Valley in 3D project I needed some texture atlases for texturing 3D models that I had created for this project.
I decided to bake this texture atlas with Blender 3.4. In this video I am going to show you how did I baked the diffuse, normal, roughness, metallic, ambient occlusion and the height maps.
