Well after experimenting around with the render baking textures, I couldn't find a way to bake objects that have been UV textured.
I tried setting the material to TexFace, but that left me with a overall black texture, since it needed a base UV texture to replace. My question is, is it possible to bake UV textures? |

Hmmm, I would think that if you used the uv texture in the the materials->textures->image and use uv in map input you could bake it in.
Did you read/do snailrose's tut on the script to bake the lights into the uvmapped scenes? It explains how to do that. Do you have the link already? I would have to search for it, but will if you dont have it.... http://www.continuousphysics.com/lig...pTutorial.html Several folks here have tried it and ran into complications and posted here. I was one of them, lol. Be sure to check spelling. Sorry if this is all obvious to you....

I also could not find a way
Its easy to Bake for proceedureal textures but as soon as you want UV mapping your snookered, Of course you could just enable the 'light' button in Texture face and have real time no baked shading??

Maybe the tutorial I did recently will help (link in this thread). It's focus is using Render Baking and Multiple UV's for texture seam removal . . . but I think it may apply to your problem, since it only uses UV-mapped textures.

I just used that tut as an example of how to use the uv input (uv mapped) and the uv image to set up for the baking.

I take it all back! this is how you can do it - And I've had a few beers so this could be a bit wrong
Have you object ready and make sure it has a material 1. Create a new UV (image new) and that will be your first and the one which will become the bake. (in the UV/Image Editor window) 2. click the 'new' button by UV Texture in 'Mesh' and I would rename it 'UV2' - this creates a second UV which will be the one you bake from. 3. Load your image into the UV/Image editor and unwrap as you wish. 4. Assuming you have a material, go to textures and create a texture in the second slot, choose image and select your image from the drop down list by Load. 4. back in materials, make sure you have the second texture slot selected. in Map input select 'UV' and enter UV2 in the 'UV:' text box. 5 go back to Editing (F9) and select the + by the first UV - 'UVTex'. In the UV/Image editor make sure the black new image is in place. in the UV Face Select window do unwrap smart projections. 6 back in mesh in Editting reselect the second UV - UV2 and select the button next to the + as well 7 in the UV Face select window do Alt Cntrl B and choose full render. There delete the second UV, delete the material and the First UV will be your backed UV texture. I thankyou  (assuming it works that is... )later And I can't get it to work now -but it did work - and now I'm going to bed - but I reckon its to do with those 'set rendering UV texture' buttons next to the 'set active UV texture' + button

Done it - and heres a blend to prove it.
The problem was these little buttons  next to where it says UVTex and UV2.when you do the bake UV2 (your texture) needs to be set active (the + button) and UVTex ( your new, to be baked texture) needs to be set with the other button (as above). Load my blend http://www.weedicom.co.uk/temp/UVBake1.blend (ed: now with packed textures!) and with the mouse over the UV Face Select window do Alt Cntrl B and choose full render. That will bake it. then choose the '+' (set active texture) by UVTex and you will see in the UV/Image editor the baked texture, enjoy  and Cire, thanks for your excellent tutorial

Thanks everyone for replying, I hadn't seen snailrose's tutorial on it.
Larryboy's instructions, and blend worked perfectly (although he did forget to pack the textures  ).Cire, that tutorial looks quite useful actually, as seams seem to be unavoidable with render baking. Again, I thank all of you for replying, I really appreciate it
