Hi Muqaddas @muqaddas ,

You need to Select the Image Texture Node you want to Bake the Texture to:

Did you watch: https://cgcookie.com/courses/bake-texture-baking-with-blender already?

[Omar Domenech]

That course is a must watch if you’re going to do anything with baking. Chunck goes through all the gotcha’s.

Image texture was selected when I was baking diffuse:)

[Martin Bergwerf]

Was it also the Active one?

[muqaddas mumtaz]

yes!

[Martin Bergwerf]

And you also need to have an Unwrapped Object Selected, so you have UV’s to Bake on.

[muqaddas mumtaz]

yes I have unwraped the object before baking it

[muqaddas mumtaz]

I have also checked normals

[Martin Bergwerf]

Does Blender give you an Error message when you try to Bake? 

And if so, what does it say?

[muqaddas mumtaz]

no error 
final image coming out black 

[Martin Bergwerf]

Maybe you don’t have any Light in your Scene.

You could also Bake it like this:

That would  give an Albedo Map.
