Can someone help me understand the limitations of baking? I keep trying to bake a model and it just hangs at "Organizing Map Layout". How long should baking take on average?

 

My model has crumple, eroded, and a simiont material.

It definitely depends on how big the model is and how complex the materials are. I've been using it lately and simple materials with surface properties happen almost instantly, but more complicated ones take much longer. There's no progress bar or anything, just have to wait for it to finish.

 

You might consider breaking the model up into the parts that use each material (if that's possible) and then bake those individually. That's what I'm doing. Just make sure you give the resulting image files unique names.
