It uses its own GPU rendering engine to bake faster than Blender's default baker, supporting projection, occlusion, curvature, cage-controlled high-to-low transfers, ID maps, vertex color projection, position data, and eight Principled BSDF channels. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, exports to Substance 3D Painter, Unreal, and Unity presets with channel packing and DDS support, and processes bakes in the background so Blender stays responsive. It requires Blender 5.1 or above and is sold as a one-time purchase with Personal and Studio license tiers. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Fyr Baker for Blender and what does it do? Fyr Baker is a texture baking add-on for Blender created by Marcus "Glow" Rasmussen, using its own GPU rendering engine for faster bakes than Blender's default system. It handles projection, occlusion, curvature, cage-controlled high-to-low transfers, ID maps, vertex color projection, position maps, and eight Principled BSDF channels, running in the background so Blender stays responsive. _Artists deciding on a baking workflow can follow add-on releases like this one on daily.dev._ ### Which version of Blender is required to use the Fyr Baker add-on? Fyr Baker requires Blender 5.1 or above. It is sold as a one-time purchase with Personal and Studio license options, and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, though its native GPU renderer is only used on supported Windows GPU systems. _Track Blender add-on compatibility requirements like this on daily.dev before upgrading your pipeline._ ### How does Fyr Baker compare to Marmoset Toolbag and other Blender baking add-ons like SimpleBake? Fyr Baker is positioned as a middle ground between built-in Blender baking or add-ons like SimpleBake and Bake Wrangler, and standalone tools like Marmoset Toolbag or Substance 3D Painter. The developer describes it as "almost as fast as Marmoset," with a workflow closely modeled on Marmoset Toolbag, plus interactive cage painting and direct exports to Substance 3D Painter or Marmoset Toolbag with maps already assigned. _Comparing texture baking tools for your pipeline is easier when you follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Zen BBQ 2.0, a Bevel Add-On for Blender, Gets a New Map Baking System](https://daily.dev/posts/zen-bbq-2-0-a-bevel-add-on-for-blender-gets-a-new-map-baking-system-9a0rzskyh) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Blender Plans To Introduce Its Own Texture Layer System](https://daily.dev/posts/blender-plans-to-introduce-its-own-texture-layer-system-ysimcc6jt) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Procedural Gingerbread Cookie Maker In Blender](https://daily.dev/posts/procedural-gingerbread-cookie-maker-in-blender-cfddlc4dq) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Artist Releases Blender Add-On with Over 100 VFX Assets & Presets](https://daily.dev/posts/artist-releases-blender-add-on-with-over-100-vfx-assets-presets-m1ywxsrdg) · 80 LEVEL · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#3d](https://daily.dev/tags/3d), [#game-design](https://daily.dev/tags/game-design), [#blender](https://daily.dev/tags/blender), [#substance-3d-painter](https://daily.dev/tags/substance-3d-painter) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/marmoset-toolbag-inspired-texture-baking-add-on-released-for-blender-piogs0wt3) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Marmoset Toolbag-Inspired Texture Baking Add-On Released For Blender","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/marmoset-toolbag-inspired-texture-baking-add-on-released-for-blender-piogs0wt3","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/marmoset-toolbag-inspired-texture-baking-add-on-released-for-blender-piogs0wt3"},"datePublished":"2026-09-29T09:57:40.491Z","dateModified":"2026-09-29T09:58:05.069Z","description":"Marcus \"Glow\" Rasmussen has released Fyr Baker, a Blender add-on for texture baking modeled on Marmoset Toolbag's workflow.
