Render Scene Color to texture (Diffuse bake) in UE5?

another caveman

Hi, I'm trying to bake the rendered scene to texture in UE5. I can't really find how.

 I've tried the LOD generation tool and am trying to fix this error:

LogMeshLODToolset: Warning: Non-parameter texture sampler detected in input material [M_]. Output materials may have unexpected behaviour.



currently also trying Render an Unwrapped Static Mesh Material to Textures | Unreal Engine Documentation
Render to Texture Toolset Setup | Unreal Engine Documentation

No results so far.

Cmd: ke * rendertextures

Called ' rendertextures' on everything in the world and 0 instances succeeded

Another way around.. is it possible to convert the whole scene to a point cloud within UE?

do you want viewport output or are you wanting to bake a lit texture to a file ?

This probably isn't what you mean, but just in case its helpful, here's a tutorial:

it is much longer than needed as there is only a few steps:

• apply some material to the default cube
• in the cubes static mesh details window, there is an option to bake materials
• you can bake out various channels
