Bake Instancer Tool

The Bake Instancer Tool allows you to convert MASH instances into the actual objects they represent. This is useful if you need to export the file to a non-MASH compatible format or if you use MASH for polygon modeling (i.e. repeating patterns like fences or floor tiles). You can access this utility via MASH > Utilities > Bake Instancer to object (requires a MASH instancer to currently be selected).

Bake This Frame

Creates non-animated object versions of the instances based on the current frame.

Bake Animation

Creates animated object versions of the instances for the duration of the timeslider. Keyframes are set on each object's transform values at every frame.

Channels

Customizes which channels are baked to the new objects.

Optimizations

Customizes options related to the performance of the baking process. These include:

• Clear Memory
• Clear Undo: Clears the undo stack.
• Close Script Editor: If the Script Editor is currently open, this will close it upon baking completion.
