Z-Shot is a Blender add-on that generates 2D textures, masks, and alpha brushes directly from 3D objects without requiring manual scene setup or camera placement. It automates canvas sizing and aspect ratios, providing a one-click rendering solution for various map types. Supported output modes include alpha brush, height, normal, curvature, ambient occlusion, vertex color, opacity, and multiple BSDF channels.

The tool includes a channel packing feature to combine existing or newly rendered maps into an RGBA format. It supports batch rendering for multiple images and integrates with the Trimflow add-on by generating trims with head and tail sections alongside compatible JSON files. Output formats include EXR, TIFF, and PNG in appropriate linear or sRGB color spaces.
