How to bake materials that don't have an image texture?

r/blender - How to bake materials that don't have an image texture?
Like these ones above.

I thought they were called vertex colors but I guess not because I keep finding the wrong tutorials :frowning:

I believe you need a 3rd-party add-on to bake to vertex colors (I might be mistaken).
You can bake to an image without an image texture node attached to your base color node though, however you’ll still need:

  • 1 UV node
  • 1 Image Texture node

The bake setup directs Blender to which image to bake to, as well as which UV to use in the baking process.

Thank you RPaladin :slight_smile:
I had found the solution from this tutorial
It’s basically what you explained done for each of the materials.
