Hi All, As Mike mention it, I put a new plug-in online. It's Baker and the current build is for Carrara 3. The upgrade to Carrara 4 will be free and ready as soon as the SDK is. Baker is a texture baking tool. Using the UV mapping of an object, it can extract flat texture map from any Carrara shader. Baker can also bake lightmap and normal map. Baking textures gives a way to add details and modifications on any of the Carrara procedural shaders. Its also a way to convert 3D solid texture into 2D textures that wont slip on bone-animated characters. Lightmaps and normal map can be used to lower rendering time. These maps are also very useful to enhance 3D characters modelized for video games. You can find more information on Baker on my website. Julien
