Flattening the texture baker for export

[Jefferson Grigsby]

Does anyone know how to flatten the UVW and Material on a texture baked object? Ideally, I would like to render out a complete map, or lighting map out of the textre baker and convenrt it to a light material in VRAY, or a standard material with just diffuse and self-illumination.

 

every attempt made thus far does not retain proper mapping coordinates for the object and the maps just looked tiled across the geometry.

have you tried collapsing your modifier stack first?
