Okay, I'm trying to bake the coloured materials I've added to my model. But whenever I go to the Render tab > Bake > and select any of the options, I get an error at the top saying 'No active UV layer found in the object'. Well... Of course not. I've added materials, not textures. I've not had to do any UV unwrapping. What am I missing? What do I need to do to bake coloured materials?

Thanks

  • I've done a quick UV unwrap by selecting Project From View. I've created a new UV layout, but now when I go to bake, it says that no active image could be found in one of the materials. Well, duh... None of them have images; they're coloured materials. – DustyShinigami Apr 30 '19 at 19:03
  • I've ticked Selected to Active but it comes up with an error saying 'No selected valid objects' – DustyShinigami Apr 30 '19 at 19:05

  • Doing that doesn't take the thread to the top of the page though, so people may not see it. – DustyShinigami Apr 30 '19 at 22:06
  • Okay, I have one more material colour I need to bake, which is a Glossy and Diffuse combined. It's supposed to be a shiny blue, but no matter what bake settings I adjust, the result doesn't look right. How should I set it up correctly? – DustyShinigami Apr 30 '19 at 22:06
  • I'm still having problems with this. I've made an image for each colour, but I can't get them applied when in Unity. I've tried making a UV image for the whole gun, but each part has its own material, so I can't really combine them. – DustyShinigami May 01 '19 at 12:22
