The features of Jass-Magic

For the brand new features here is a first little bit of explanation:

1. The Baker tool has been changed a bit. You still have the “old” baker where you can set some baking parameters. But now there is now also a “quick bake” button which you find under:Render -> Quick Bake Sculpt MeshesThe Quick bake simple reuses the “most recent settings” of the baker tool. For me it turns out that i almost never change the baker settings, so in 90 percent of my work i just use the Quickbake and that’s one click less 😉
2. The baker has been made a bit more aware of what it does. It will now try to solve following problems right when baking:
   1. When it finds a mirrored sculptie, it checks if the sculptmap has been flipped and if not it will do that automatically. This ensures that mirrored objects get displayed without the inside-out effect.
      It is important to keep the baker doing its job all by itself. When you apply scale/Rotate by hand before baking, the baker will fail (and will no longer check for a flipped sculptmap)
   2. When a set of objects is baked, the baker keeps track on which object will be baked to which sculptmap. It autmatically finds out if an object needs a separate sculptmap or if 2 objectrs may share one sculptmap.
3. In object mode you now can “preview” a multi part sculptie easily:Object -> Scripts -> “Reimport Selection as sculpties”This function will create a “sculptie” copy for each object in the set and do correct scale/rotate/translate the parts. So you now can do with two clicks what had to be done before as follows:

   for each part do:
       select the part in object mode
       go to edit mode
       in the uv editor: Image reimport as Sculptie
       move the part to its corect location by hand

   Note that this function only will create sculpties for the selected objects.
   Please understand that the objects created by the “previewer” are usually ment to be deleted once you have verified that your multi part object looks like expected. You will always work on the originals (those objects which you have baked in step 1.) above.
