*** BAKE HELPER 1.0 ***
This is an addon for Blender intended to automate the baking workflow and to save your time by creating, assigning and saving all desired image maps. It enables to bake a separate image for each material. This makes it especially useful for creating content for grids like Second Life.
• Bake all marked objects or a single selected object
• Works with both Blender Render and Cycles Render
• Automatically create and assign image maps for each object and its materials with name: “ObjectName_MaterialName_BakeType.png”
• Enables to merge all object materials into a single image map named: “ObjectName_BakeType.png”
• When baking is finished, BlenderRender-Textured viewport is used to show baked images
• Save all baked textures into given folder by a single click
• Automatically assign multiple maps (UV Grid, AO, Combined, Full Render) to all objects
• Use shortcut to bake (F5) and shortcut to switch viewport engine and shading (F4)
*** CHANGE LOG ***

Dude seriously
Works freaking wonders and time saving to the max. Damn wow.
Was actually looking to buy this addon (before) I realized it was on SL somehow. Hope this is the real creator of this fine piece of work this Blender addon does.
In anycase. I was mainly looking for a way to batch add textures to objects (LOTS OF THEM at once) without having to manually add a UVTexture to each one since Blender still has no way to do this when you hit bake. THIS addon does it for you AND holy hell , this does that and then some!
Havent tinkered with the AO baking part but from what i see, Capability to batch AO map.
Glad I found this, save me some time from buying from the BlenderMarket :)
