Trying to bake pointiness comes back empty

Question

As the title says, when I am baking the pointness in shader editor, the texture bake bar at the bottom starts and stops at zero and returns an empty image

Hi TTermKnive ,

There are so many things that can go wrong with Baking! I am probably not the only one that is always overjoyed when it works the first time. Try again, following very carefully every step. You most likely made a mistake somewhere.

If it still doesn't work, please share a screenshot (of your entire UI), or even a link to your .blend file (via Dropbox, Googledrive or so).

Yeah, baking is one of those things in Blender that has a will of its own, one tiny thing that is not set up properly and it doesn't work. If you can share the file it would be the easiest to troubleshoot and help out.
