Hi Michael,<BR>
<BR>
We have the exact same request for our content-pipeline. Currently we do all the baking by hand, which is tiresome - thus leading to incomplete results being accepted in the final game. I posted a question about this on the forums:<BR>

<BR>
But there has been no reply. I also added this as a feature request to the "what are you missing in the gamedev toolchain"-question on the apricot game project, but it does not seem to be included in any todo-lists or anything.<BR>

I have not had my hands real dirty with actual blender-coding (I only write python plug-ins), so I don't think I can implement this fast enough for it to make sense in our production. But i really am looking forward to this feature being added as this will enable the writing of some real nice model-exporting scripts.<BR>

I'm currently working on a game project for Sony and am trying to use blender for as much of the pipeline as I can.<BR>
I've written some scripts to automate as much of the pipeline as I can but am stumbling on automatically baking lightmaps<BR>
<BR>
I'd really like to be able to do this. Theres a windows build on graphicall<BR>
that has been modified to do this, but I'm wondering if the functionality could be added to the svn version <BR>
(I'm generally using linux 64bit)<BR>

That's nice and simple! This functionality would be a big help.<BR>
I tried to contact the original author to get a patch both in his thread and through private message and have had no response<BR>
Could someone add this functionality to blender python?
