    I was following a tutorial about baking textures and export them to .glg/.gltf to embed the model on a website.
    I followed all instructions but when I hit the Bake button nothing happens .
    Could someone look into this?

    By the way. I followed this tutorial.

      Hi Dutchbird,

      Thanks for the file. 🙂

      Please load this file into Cinema 4D after unzipping.

      Is this working for you?

      All the best

        It does. Thanks.
        But I don't understand why I can't Bake myself.
        When I hit the Bake button, nothing happens.

          Hi Dutchbird,

          I have tested it excessively this morning, and my results are that it won't work if UVs are on top of each other or outside of the UV square 0-1.
          It should work if set to UDIMs, but that is another story and not my scope right now. I need more time for that to file a report.

          Since they are 8-bit images*, creating a single UV with the above qualities is work but possible.
          The key technique here is that the Texture needs to be Remapped.
          https://help.maxon.net/c4d/2024/en-us/Default.htm#html/11664.html#PLUGIN_CMD_170221

          *Please note that Remap works only flawlessly with 8bit/channel images.
          The number of polygons will take a while to process.

          My suggestion, try baking with a single cube first, then increase the complexity.

          All the best

            Thanks a lot for all the trouble.
            I will dive into some UV Mapping tutorials.
            The file I shared was just for testing.

              Thank you very much for your reply; no trouble at all, Dutchbird.

              The manual doesn't share much about troubleshooting, so it is worth exploring deeper for the forum.

              Thanks for your question

              Cheers
