Patch Images and Baking

[John Bigboote]

Hey guys, sorry if the topic description made it sound like a 'marijuana reference'...

 

I use patch images a lot, they RULE! And lately I have been playing with eXporting A:M data so I can use it in Element 3D, Cinema 4D (Maybe I AM stoned!) and trying to get A:M/bake imagery to play nice with polygonal UVW placements(making slit-wrist motions!) and I notice that patch images seem to be 'immune' to the whole baking process.

 

ALSO- any links to some good tuts on this subject?

I dimly recall encountering this. i don't think they get baked. Sounds like AMReport material.

Thanks for putting in the report Matt. I use patch images a lot too and ran into this issue.

I can't recall if I submitted a report before or not (I expect not).

 

I would imagine it could be a considerable thing to code as patch images are very versatile and have a lot of variables.
