Stitch Generator V2.2 Update: Adds "Prep for Baking" button to the main panel. Highly recommend saving your scene as a new copy, as this will remove the parametric controls from selected stitches. This button will perform a few quick functions to make baking the stitches easier.

Turn off all shading effects from selected stitch curves(Shading effects are not supported for baking due to Blender limitations)
Convert all selected Curves to Mesh, which is required for baking.
Join all selected objects to the active object. The active object(last selected) can be a mesh object, allowing you to combine the stitches to the mesh they are on together if desired.
NOTE: I still do not consider this addon to fully support baking, due to the inability to bake the shading details. But this will make it easier to bake the physical stitches to a low poly mesh.

Before: All stitches and Mesh selected, all separate objects.

After: Shading effects removed(incompatible with bake), curves converted to mesh, all objects joined to one.

Update instructions: Remove old version. Install new addon as normal. All files made using V2.1 will automatically update to the newest version. Older files may not support all new features.

Please let me know if you experience any errors or issues with this update.

Also, I am currently working on a new Addon for creating Zippers, similar to this one. There is still much to do, but here is a quick preview of some zippers.

I will be at the Game Developers Conference in two weeks, and hope to have an initial release shortly after the show.
