Hi.
I modeled a human head, textured with procedural style.
I want to texture it by image map. Can i constant the procedural as an image in LW ? And how?
Thanks.

Surface baking

Here (http://www.lightwave3d.com/tutorials/rendering/lw_baker/lw_baker_cow.html) is a tutorial.

Yeah, just use the Surface Baker shader ;)

Just be aware though that you need to have set up some UVs for the head before doing so :)

just a question:

surf baker doesn't seem to bake bumpmaps when rendered with radiosity...

anyone encountered the same problem?

WHat I would to for that is make a templete from the uvs and work out my own bump maps.Just a thought.

Make a UV map for the bumps, unwrap it as a template and go from there.
