Overview
Freezes the branch above it. Bake renders the input to an EXR sequence; while baked, upstream never cooks (edit or even delete it freely) and downstream reads the files. Un-bake to go live again; the panel flags a stale bake.
How to
How-to
- Put it after a finished branch; press Bake to render it to an EXR sequence.
- While baked, upstream never cooks — edit or delete it freely; the baked file's identity carries the change signal.

| out | Image |
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| file | Text | The file on disk — use #### for frame numbers in a sequence. | |
| baked | Bool | false | Read the rendered frames from file instead of cooking the branch — flip it off to go live again. |
| baked_hash | Text | The branch as it was when baked. When the branch changes, the badge says the bake is stale. | |
| disabled | Bool | false | Bypass: the node passes its first input through untouched (D in the graph). The knobs keep their values for when it comes back. |
| label | Text | A note shown under the node in the graph — what this node is FOR. Never affects the render or the cache. | |
| hide_input | Bool | false | Draw the node without its input wire — a tidy graph for a node whose source is obvious (a Dot, a viewer tap). |
