It would be good to restart Blender after for changes to take into effect.

Download the latest version

Download the latest BakeMaster add-on version from the Blender Market. We recommend installing the latest one, as we deliver stability and functionality improvements with each new version.

A demo version can be also installed from the GitHub repo: Go to the install/ directory and download a zip folder. See BakeMaster Versions for the difference between the Demo and the Full version.

After downloading a zipped add-on folder, do not unzip it. Go to your Blender Preferences and install it. The add-on folder can be then accessed within Blender’s scripts/addons/ directory after.
