hi , i'm trying to bake shadow into texture with mental ray but as soon as my object is more complicated than a cube , there is bugs, some face are fully lited ,other cast shadows but they are mostly wrong..... :shrug:
i've tried with a lot of scenes but it's never worked....

i've of course deleted my objects history , and freezed transfomation , tried different setting of the baking attribute but no way ......
:annoyed:

does it work in maya 5 ???? i've heared that there was a lot of problems with maya 4.5 but since mental ray has been integrated in maya 5 , we could 've hoped that it will be fixed .....

thanks in advance for your help , i'm new here and cgtalk rulzz

ive had nothing but problems with trying that, and eventually after a lot of time was wasted i ended up lighting my scene completely differently. sorry.

ok thanks for you reply....

it's helping me to know if the problem came from me or from maya.

you said that you've lit your scene completely differently , have you baked your shadows with another software (like lightscape)?

i'm looking for a device which could bake my texture , do you know one?
