# maya-texture-bake

Texture baking utilities for Maya. Bake lighting, ambient occlusion, normal maps,

and custom shading networks to image textures using Maya's built-in Convert to File

Texture or the Transfer Maps workflow.

## Scripts

- `bake_lighting` — Bake full lighting (diffuse + shadows) to a texture via `convertLightmap`

- `bake_ambient_occlusion` — Bake AO using a `mib_amb_occlusion` shader

- `transfer_maps` — Transfer normals/displacement/diffuse from high-res to low-res mesh

- `list_bake_sets` — List existing bake set nodes in the scene
