FAQs

Q: Can I bake maps from the Auto Eye?

A: Yes, you can bake 4 maps.

Color, Specular, Roughness and Bump.

Q: The Auto Eye is not working properly on Eevee or Material Preview?

A: To fix that just go to Eevee and enable the Screen Space Reflections and also the Refraction option.
Furthermore, I recommend open a new empty file, enable these options and save the Startup File to have these options enable by default in Blender.
