I’ve just stumbled on your tool and it looks very cool. I have a question about licensing. Can I install mighty baker on two machines, but only use it on one machine at a time? Since I’m a freelancer I have both a workstation and a laptop which I carry to client sites. With other tools as long as I’m only using them on one machine at a time there isn’t an issue. I hope I’m being clear. Awesome tool BTW!!
Cheers,

Hi Thomas,
Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much for the kind words! Right now, only one machine can be licensed at a time. You will have to de-activate the license and re-activate it on the other machine. I can understand how this can be tiresome to bounce between laptop and desktop. We’ll think about this policy and get back to you. Feel free to e-mail us at info@mightybake.com to discuss it further.
Hi Thomas,
We have just upgraded the individual license to include two activations per license. Let us know if you have any issues.
Hello, I believe your site might be having web browser compatibility issues.
Whenever I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however when opening in I.E.,
it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
Apart from that, wonderful site!
Hello,
I see you are planning to develop the feature of rounded edge baking. I cannot tell you enough how useful this would be. I find the high poly workflow to be such a headache at the moment, having to delete and re-add support loops for every minor change. I could finish 5 models in the time of one if I could just make my low-poly ingame model and “fake” the edges in a baking tool.
Do you have any idea when this might be available? I can also tell you right off the bat that being somehow able to select different widths for various edges would also be very useful.
Thanks
Hi Xizu,
Thanks for the feedback! How would you want to specify the edge width? We’re working on the curvature maps, and when they are done, we’ll move on to the rounded edge baking.
I think ideally there could be something of a weight-painting system, where you could paint edges and then the ones with more weight would get bevelled stronger, and those with less would be sharper.
However for starters just being able to define selection sets with some preset widths might be good enough? Anyway that’s just off the top of my head at the moment. Probably someone can come up with a better system.
This feature could be a game-changer for many, looking forward to it.
Hi,
very cool tool. Just testing it but it seems to be all around well done.
What I am missing a little bit is the ability to batch bake. I would really like to create a list of bake operations and run them sequentially. Presets should be savable. In a production pipeline where Models can change daily it would be super handy to quickly be able to update the maps again this way (for multiple changed assets)
Also sort of an addition – it would be cool if we could specify what UDIMs to Bake.
So if we know that only certain UDIMs have changed (modelwise) then we could only rebake those.
Can I bake occlusion from a single mesh ? I just need to bake out the self occlusion, and don’t want to compare low : high ?
I think I saw this in a tutorial, just need to turn off high res mesh tickbox. I am totally buying this
Yes, if you just tick off the high res, it doesn’t do a transfer, but uses the low poly exclusively.
I have issue with your product! I bought it and download link is broken .I downloaded demo version and licenced with it and it says its linceced succesfully! When I try to bake the software shutted down directly! What can it be issue!?
I use win10 64byt with latest updates..
Is this still under development?
