What do you use for baking textures? (lemmy.ml)

My wife uses Blender but bakes textures in Substance Painter. However, we no longer want to use Adobe products.

Can anyone recommend an alternative?

She tried baking directly in Blender but found the process quite challenging. Are there any addons you'd recommend for it?

She also gave ArmorPaint a try but didn't like it either.

Just in case you didn’t know, you can purchase a perpetual license for Substance on Steam if your problem is the monthly subscription. Also the 2025 versions should get added sometime this month.

Yes, we considered this. But from what I understand, you pay 200$ for a version from specific year without updates. For example, if I buy 2024, I won't be able to update to 2025.

Yes, that’s true. But not a ton is added year to year.
