Reply To: I painted my texture and then wanted to use the Ambient Occulsion Bake option to add the lighting effects but after the bake the whole model was the gray colour. How to I maintain my paint job?

I’m not aware of a straight forward way to bake the two maps together. There’s several ways to combine separate textures with photo-editors like Photoshop, GIMP, and Krita. You could also do it with Blender’s compositing nodes, but that’s arguably the harder way to go about it.
