Nodes

This section documents every node type in Bake Wrangler, in the order they appear in the node editor’s Add menu. All node settings also have mouse-over tooltips in Blender with the same descriptions.

• Settings Nodes
• Object & Utility Input Nodes
• Mesh Input Nodes
• Bake Pass
• Post-Processing Nodes
• Output Nodes

Sockets at a glance

Socket	Color	Carries
Object	Blue	A single object or collection, or a list of them
Material	—	A single material, or a list of them
Mesh	—	The combined object + settings package produced by a mesh-input node
Settings (Mesh / Pass / Output)	—	A settings package from a Settings node
Color	—	Baked image/color data flowing toward an output
Channel Map	—	A single channel (or float) being routed into one RGBA channel of an output
Float	—	A single value, used by the Post nodes
Split Output	Dark blue	Path/filename information, optionally driven by a File Names node
Bake	Grey	A finished output, feeding into a Batch Bake node

Sockets that expect an object, material, or path show an inline field you can type or drag-and-drop into directly when nothing is connected; once you connect a link, that field is replaced by whatever’s coming down the wire.
