Bake Point Management



The following actions are only available when using a Mari Version below Mari 4.7v1.

Mari 4.7 and higher provide sufficient Bake Point Functionality by default



Smart Bake Hierarchy 


  • Where to find it: 


    • NodeGraph / Right Mouse Click / Edit / Bake Points /


    • Main Window / Extension Pack / Nodegraph / Bake Points /   


  • Shortcut:     (unassigned, use "Edit / Shortcuts" to assign)

    




While Mari ships with a number of tools to automatically update Bake Points that are empty or out of date, these tools only work

within the currently active Nodegraph. They do not update Bake Points that live inside of Subgraphs (Graph Groups, Materials).



With the new 'Smart Bake Hierarchy' Option, all upstream Bake Points are automatically updated. Regardless if they exist in the current node graph or are part of a subgraph. 

lease note that only Bake Points are updated that are part of the stream.

Bake points within groups that are not connected to an Output that is part of the stream are not processed.
