automatic baking multiple objects

This fantastic plug in is open free and works like a charm! unfortunately this is not supported anymore. it would be awesome to have it integrated into Blender official release as an optional addon!

That is up to the addon's author. And for this to happen, there are some quite important prerequisites, the first one being:

You must be aware that your add-on will be integrated into the official Blender distribution. Therefore you must ensure there is continuous support for keeping your add-on working and fixing bugs as they appear. So you must commit yourself (or find a maintainer who does it for you) to do the maintenance (see General Guidelines for Add-on Developers below)

That being said, I have seen here and there that revamping the baking tools, in part for bulk jobs, is in the developers' mind and has received some intention in the past. Though no short term plans yet.

Do you know how can we get more attention from the devs to this baking topic? It has been on the to-do list for years, and it is one of those that I think that it can boost Blender a lot as it will be useful for exporting assets to other programs (Godot, UE, and so on), therefore, it increases the chances to add Blender into the pipeline. Making Blender more "connected" to their surroundings will make it more attractive, like when it did with the 2.8 version.

That is not necessarily the case in the future any more. Only vey few plugins will remain bundled with Blender 4.2 going forward any more. Most will be hosted on the new extensions plattform extensions.blender.org/

Bundlign with Blender will not be a thing for most plugins any more going forward.

Lauloque

true, but that makes the proposal even less likely to happen.

Is there any script can do this? I'm tired clicking bake one by one, too
