GrabDoc

GrabDoc is a Blender 4.2+ add-on for quickly baking trim sheets and tileable texture maps.

After installation, run the one-click scene setup and then start modeling! GrabDoc provides a camera object with the ability to preview your rendered texture maps in real-time via custom shaders in Workbench, EEVEE, and Cycles. Once satisfied you can bake all maps using the default baker or using Marmoset Toolbag's baker for the best results!

This page exists in support of the continued development of this tool. GrabDoc is available via GPL licensing on GitHub.

Latest Version - 1.4.x

Port to Blender 4, revamped UI, new bake maps, cycles for all bake maps & much more! Update 1.4.5 also adds texture map packing!

Fast bakes, low file sizes

Texture bakes are fast and can even be small when utilizing lossless & lossy compression.

Many formats supported

We support the most common texture map formats, including:

• PNG (8/16 bit)
• TIFF (8/16 bit)
• TGA (8 bit)
• EXR (16/32 bit)

Marmoset Toolbag Bridge

For those interested in getting the highest quality results you can use the Marmoset Toolbag bridge! You can also use the refresh baking option to update already opened instances of Marmoset Toolbag.
