Bake Times!
polycounter lvl 19
Hey everyone,
I'm curious if anyone has some info about what factors impact bake times (specifically normals) throughout various applications.
I originally thought it was simply down to polycount (thought process being, more normals, more projection calculations) but i've started to notice a lot of really long bake times coming from simple pieces whereas far higher polycount objects take comparatively little time.
I understand that this will vary based on system specs, type of map, renderer, etc. But removing all those factors, what are the key aspects that will influence your bake time?
Thanks!

Yeah, this is the main one. That and the amount of anti aliasing you are using.
