      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
