Hi, what lights and shaders do you use for baking textures so that you have a good base for painting your textures in photoshop (especially baking the face texture) ??

PS: i dont have quickdirt, and the effect it does is what i'm after.

thanks for any help you can give me.

First What render do you use? and what program?
(In my case... I use 3dsMax)

Lighting: GI, Omni, Spot...

Shader: Dirt shader is best, it generates better shadow/dirt.... But you can also use simple shader if possible.

I usually use a skylight in 3ds max because I like the soft, vague shadows it makes.. good for texture painting I find.
