I am baking unlit diffuse maps from high poly to low poly with the baketexture ROP to MPlay. The results are too darkas you can see in the images below. I already did:
  • Turn-off head light creation
  • Switch texture color space in principled shader
  • Set MPlay to Gamma 2.2
  • Tried JPGs and PNGs as input texture

Is there anything left to do?

Does the principled shader still have a base color of 0.2?

Thank you, jsmack! That solved my problem. I was thinking the map overrides the base color

BTW: Whats the most minimal approach to get texture baking working from a materialbuilder?

I tried uvcoords -> texture -> pbr-diffuse -> surface_output
and also bindexport: Cd

But it didnt show up in the baking.

surface exports has all the baking stuff, but you have to add the expected exports to the input layer struct.
