- Baking is non-incremental.
- This limitation excludes integrators that can not be setup to render in a single increment, like PxrVCM.
- PxrPathTracer, PxrDirectLighting, PxrOcclusion and PxrVisualizer are compatible.
- Baking is incompatible with curves.
- Each baking display can use at most one RGBA display channel.
- Use multiple display drivers to output multiple signals.
- All images are baked at the same resolution.
- No breakpointing / stop-and-resume during baking
- There is no separate irradiance output
As a workaround, we suggest baking illumination and albedo: dividing the illumination by the albedo gives the irradiance.
2D Baking
Image naming
The name(s) of the baked image file(s) is/are specified with a Display line. Baking uses the same display drivers as raytrace rendering, including openexr, tiff, png, and many more.
...
which then gets substituted into the Display filename. Alternatively, the filename can be specified with other attributes such as <identifier:name>. No image will be baked for an object if the wildcard substitution fails or if the filename for that object is the empty string.
Image resolution
The resolution of the baked 2D images is determined by the standard Format description. For example:
...
