Mainly useful for Gamedev where you have multiple instances sharing same UV space which would cause an error when baked (instead uv c… **Well. but Everything nodes is coming in 2.81. Blender becomes node based in modifiers.** **Another dev suggested any future work on current modifier system is pointless because of that.** Non-destructive can not complete instead of traditional workflow, it can not do everything.
