Shading, lighting and texturing of sphere is baked and saved to a texture map


Converts illumination, shadow, shading, and textures to a single file texture that can be used as a texture map. 

Note
  • Unique UV's are required for the geometry that you wish to render to a texture because Arnold does not allow different sets of UV's. This means, for example, any textures that are tiled will not work as expected. 
  • Ensure that the normals for your geometry are pointing in the correct direction before texture baking.



The workflow is as follows:

  • Select the geometry that you wish to render to a texture map and go to Arnold> Utilities> Render Selection to Texture.
