CurvBake Pro — High Quality Curvature Map Baker for Blender

Stop waiting for noisy, slow curvature bakes in Blender! CurvBake Pro brings studio-grade, production-ready curvature map baking directly into your Blender 3D workflow.

Powered by a dual-engine architecture featuring custom C++ OpenMP multi-threading and NVIDIA OptiX GPU hardware acceleration, CurvBake Pro bakes ultra-crisp curvature maps in seconds with blazing-fast speed!

Substance Painter vs CurvBake Pro (Side-by-Side Comparison)

Achieve curvature map quality virtually indistinguishable from Substance Painter directly inside Blender! Eliminate tedious FBX export/import roundtrips and bake production-ready maps straight to your UV layout.

• Identical Neutral Baseline: Perfect 128 neutral grey flat surfaces matching standard texturing workflows.
• Deep Cavity Shadows: Rich, deep shadow floors inside tight crevices and cloth folds.
• Crisp Edge Separation: Broad, clean edge highlights without noise or ray-casting artifacts.
• 100% Seamless: 16px 3D dilation ensures zero UV seam bleeding.

Key Features

• Blazing-Fast Baking: Bake 1K, 2K, and 4K curvature maps ultra-fast with GPU acceleration.• Dual-Engine Architecture:

• GPU OptiX Mode: Razor-sharp edge highlights and crisp bevel separation for Hard-Surface, Vehicles, Guns, and Sci-Fi props.
• CPU C++ Engine: Smooth 3D Laplacian cavity falloff for Organic Sculptures, Characters, and Cloth Folds.• Optimized Histogram Calibration: Perfect neutral grey flat surfaces with rich, deep shadow cavity floors — zero manual levels adjustment needed!• Zero UV Seam Artifacts: Integrated 16px 3D normal vector field dilation completely eliminates UV seam bleeding and pixelated border artifacts.• 1-Click Viewport Preview: Instantly preview baked maps on your 3D mesh in Material Preview mode with zero node tree setup.• Live Wireframe Cage Preview: Visually inspect and adjust Ray Distance / Cage Offset directly in the 3D Viewport.

Important Requirement

• High-Poly to Low-Poly Baking: CurvBake Pro is a specialized High-to-Low baking engine. It requires selecting both a High-Poly Target object and a Low-Poly Source object in the panel before baking.
