I have multiple emission material/shader nodes. How do I bake procedural or emission into textures? All I do is end up with black textures. Sadly, Ryan King Art’s tutorials do not seem applicable to what I did here.

Besides baking multiple emission materials/shader nodes into one texture, is it possible to get that translucent effect as per blender, too? Thanks

Why not? He showed you everything needed for baking your material to a texture…

Possible. You can use R channel of the texture as an alpha map. The black spots will be transparent.

Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

I was hoping to texture bake the emissions/shader nodes to the point where I could 100% replicate its blender viewport appearance:

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I do this?

Also, how did you bake multiple emissions into 1 texture?

Use “Separate RGB”

Alright. May I see your shader nodes, especially how you plugged in your textures and Separate RGB/Mix color nodes to the principle shader and material output?

Thanks, I’m so sorry for the noob questions. I’m new to baking. Other than that, I tried to bake multiple emissions into one texture, but I’m still stuck, despite following that Ryan King’s baking tutorial

Also, at 1.59 I simply added that image texture to all 3 materials, thus achieving what you did
