Setting *bake* background color

Artistic Support Lighting and Rendering

Hi all,

According to this blender documentation :

Clear
If selected, clears the image to selected background color (default is black) before baking render.

So, my question : how do I change the background color ?

(I’m not talking about the usual render background, but the one used when baking a texture !)

Thanks !

Create a new image setting the colour to the background colour you want. Deselect the ‘Clear’ tickbox and bake your texture.

This is indeed the best way I found, but if I re-bake the texture, the old results won’t be cleared with the initial texture color (which is perfectly logical).

What’s more, I can’t find a way to reset a texture : the color box is only present at creation time, not afterwards…

Any way around these ?
