retopgroup/voxtree linking for baking

[Heath_3d]

Hi,

I think it would be great to have the ability to have retop groups be able to ignore/include the varios voxtree layers.

At the moment one of the biggest issues I find with the voxel baking is that you get inadvertant baking of elements onto

the wrong part of your retop mesh (eg. curtains being baked to the window as well as the curtain retop mesh).

being able to exclude one voxel layer(eg the curtains) from a retop group(eg the window pane retop group) during the baking

process would eliminate this problem.

I agree, this is a really good idea especially for hard surface work

you got 2 things to contrrol that.By combining the 2 you get full control.

First, is hiding the voxel layers. Hidden voxel layers dont get baked(you probably know this already).

Second thing is in the retopo menu there you got option "merge selected only",if you activate this

and use "Select all faces from this layer" to select one or many layers you then have full control over what is baked.

It works best using the Texture Baking tool .

Thanks Artman, I'll check it out.
