Fyr Baker for Blender
High-to-low baking, right in Blender.
Fyr Baker has its own GPU ray tracer, written for baking. Set up your high and low poly in the scene, fix the cage where rays miss, and bake normals, AO, curvature or any of 22 other maps. It's the cage workflow you'd get in Marmoset Toolbag or Substance Painter, and your meshes never leave the .blend.

How a bake goes
Put your high and low poly into bake groups, push the cage out where it clips, and watch ray coverage update on the model. Then bake normals from a sculpt, or a whole procedural material from its node tree, on the GPU.
When it looks right, pack channels into one texture, name the files with template tokens, and write them out for Unreal, Unity or glTF.
All Baker features
Compared with other bakers
Fyr Baker bakes with its own ray tracer on Windows and with Cycles on macOS and Linux, and your meshes stay in the .blend. The Baker page lays it out against SimpleBake, Blender's Cycles, Marmoset Toolbag and Substance 3D Painter.
