Hi Kent ... I have two questions for this lesson ! - correct me if I am wrong ... the reason for using the bake option is to get an Imagine that has the color or shading information so we use these imgaes ( vertix,dirty,Amebian ) later but with different tool ! so it has no job after we have the images !! is that right ? - my second question is I click Bake on the ( Ambien Occlusion ) and I got a dark result as in this picture ... why ? :( http://www.up-00.com/VY284Gc5 and here is my blender file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Dxb90ZeF8naWhDenhJdlRFQXM/view?usp=sharing

    Yes, the bake process demonstrated in this course is only to generate images for texturing purposes. The result in the image looks normal to me..Remember any geometry that's intersecting with or hovering over other geometry will render black since it's fully occluded from light.
