scenario-blender-uv-baking

Featured

Use when UV unwrapping, placing seams, straightening or packing UVs, setting texel density, laying out UDIMs or mirrored UVs, or baking normal, AO, curvature, ID or displacement maps from a sculpt or high poly onto a low poly or retopo in Blender, including Multires bakes. Also when a bake has black or inverted patches, flat areas, cracks, seams, wavy lines or AO ghosts, bpy.ops.object.bake returns CANCELED, or uv.unwrap silently fails.

# UV unwrapping and baking Expert-level UVs put seams where the texturing method can afford them, set texel density before texture size, and pack with pixel-true padding. Expert bakes measure their projection distances instead of guessing, and are judged in pixels and under a raking light, never eyeballed once. Every stage below has a measurable gate that [`scripts/bx_uvbake.py`](scripts/bx_uvbake.py) computes. If a sibling skill named here is missing from your available skills, ask the user to install it (`npx skills add scenario-labs/skills --skill <name>`); unattended, proceed from tool schemas and flag the gap. **REQUIRED BACKGROUND:** scenario-blender-expert (execution channel, review loop, 5.2 API changes). ## Stance (the expert delta) - **Seams follow the texturing method.** Kaspar (2021, 2D painting): as few as possible, hidden under hair, clothes and inner limbs. Blender Studio guide (2024, same author): more seams rather than fewer when you paint in 3D or bake, because stretch costs more. Game bakes add a hard rule: every hard edge is a seam, or the normal map cracks (Lampel, Gambrell, On Mars 3D, Polycount). - **Only closed shells and long tubes need extra cuts.** Morren: anything closed on itself needs one cut. Gambrell: cut every taped-paper ring once, hidden. But an island with holes (a face with eye holes, a washer) flattens fine. `cut_to_disks` test-unwraps it and cuts only if it stretches [added; cutting everything folded the sheep's big islands]. - **Unw...
