GrabDoc 1.4
GrabDoc is a Blender 4.2+ add-on for quickly baking trim sheets and tileable texture maps.
After installation, run the one-click scene setup and then start modeling! GrabDoc provides a camera object with the ability to preview your rendered texture maps in real-time via custom shaders in Workbench, EEVEE, and Cycles. Once satisfied, you can bake all maps using the default baker or using Marmoset Toolbag's baker for the best results!
This page exists in support of the continued development of this tool. GrabDoc is available via GPL licensing on GitHub.
Latest major version - 1.4
Port to Blender 4, revamped UI, new bake maps, cycles for all bake maps & much more! Update 1.4.5 also adds texture map packing!

Support me via Ko-fi
GrabDoc is a FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) project, which means I see very little return on my time spent developing and maintaining it.
If you would like to support me, consider sending me a tip on Ko-fi!
GrabDoc supports Blender 4.2+. It may work on other versions of Blender, but support is not guaranteed. If you ever have problems with any of the tools provided you can contact me via email @ ethan.simon.3d@gmail.com or via the Discord Server for support.
