Sequenced Bake is a Blender add-on designed to streamline the process of baking animated materials. With this add-on, users can efficiently bake material sequences and pack them into sprite sheets or flipbook assets with a range of customizable options, enhancing their workflow and output quality.
Render Engine: Cycles. (Required)
This will pack all of the frames defined by the start and end frames onto the newly created sprite sheet.
The combined size of the cells will determine how large the generated sprite sheet will be. Example: If I have 64 cells of animation at 128x128, the generated sprite sheet will be 1024x1024.
Since many users continue to use older versions of Blender for compatibility reasons, I will provide updates for these versions as well.
New directories are created in the output path you defined for each of the map types to keep them organized. You can observe them populate during the baking process.
Blender might appear frozen or non-responsive while it bakes out the texture maps, but you will see the UI update.
Depending on the output size you choose for the images and the complexity of the material, some bakes may take longer than others.
This extension requests the following permission:

I want this to be in the form of a node added to the node network for use, rather than in the N panel, which would be easier to manage
After a quick glance it maybe possible to have both. I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Brilliant!
