Common settings panel

Last update: July 3, 2026

In Baking mode, the Common settings panel displays parameters that are relevant to all mesh maps.

NOTE
Settings in the Common settings panel apply to all mesh maps when baking. There isn’t a way to override common settings for a specific mesh map.
If, for example, you want to bake Normal maps at a higher resolution, you will need to:
  1. Bake your maps at the lower resolution.
  2. Uncheck other mesh maps so that only Normal is checked.
  3. Change the Common settings Output size.
  4. Bake the Normal map.

A full list of the mesh map settings available in the Common settings and the Mesh map settings panels is available in the baking section of the documentation.
