If the albedo drop down doesn’t work - you can try and set up a pass to
produce flat lighting, and rendermap from that pass.
(you can set it up manually as well )
you can use ambience - texture you ambience channel with the proper texture,
hide all lights, crank up the ambience to full white.
but usually you already have the diffuse channel textured on all objects and
just want to use that - but without shading.
A useful trick to get that, is to:
- use just one infinite light ( intensity 1, full white, no shadows, turn
specular off) and rotate it along the y-axis pointing down (-90 rotation on
x)
- override the bump with a "save vector state" set to "0 1 0"
simply put, this makes sure that the shading normals are all pointing
straight up along the y-axis, receiving the diffuse light full on
unfortunately some MR shaders will still have some shading regardless -
there are some more involved variations on the above to work around this.
for example have two lights, one straight down one straight up - and blend
between "0 1 0" normals on the upper half of the object to "0 -1 0" normals
on the lower half. (which you can do based on the green channel of a "vector
state" set to normals.)
hope any of this helps?

hey James,
thanks for the info. Do you remember if you baked the lighting into it
as well, or did it work without the lighting too.
I get a fine rendermap, but I always get the lighting baked into as
well. It seems to ignore the drop down list where you can choose between
"color and illumination" or "color only(albedo)".
thanks
Christian

there was a sss shader a while ago we used to do rendermaps with, cant
remember exactly but it bypassed/ignored the lightmap input and was normal
shader input. sssskin or something is all I rememeber.
cheers,
