Fibric Baker

Overview

Bakes Fibric curves into texture maps, allowing you to transfer procedural detail into a texture-based workflow.

Supports baking multiple outputs, including:
Base Color (from Cd or shader), Normal, Anisotropy Angle, Alpha, Displacement, Ambient Occlusion, Weave Type (warp/weft mask), Random ID (per curve), and Fibric ID (RGB mask per primitive).

Two baking modes are available:

• 2D Mode: Curves are flattened into UV space before baking. This provides highly accurate results, but may introduce issues where stitches cross UV islands.

• 3D Mode: Uses a ray projection with cages (in-cage to block rays, out-cage to project), offering a more traditional and robust baking approach.

Export format is .png for all maps, except raw displacement, which is exported as .exr.

General

• Selection
  Selects which Fibric outputs are included in the bake.

• Bake Textures
  Starts the Karma render-to-texture process.

• Reload
  Reloads baked textures for visualization after rendering.

• Bake Mode
  Chooses between 2D (UV-based) and 3D (projection-based) baking.

• Visualize Mode
  Switch between Cage view (in/out cages) and Texture preview on the mesh.

• Cage In Offset
  Controls the offset of the inner cage (ray blocking).

• Cage Out Offset
  Controls the offset of the outer cage (ray projection).

• Output Textures
  Defines the output path (supports <UDIM>). Currently supports .png only.

• Resolution
  Sets the texture resolution.

• UV Attribute
  Specifies the UV set used for baking (default: st).
