OK so after following the tutorial I got upto the the point of compiling my hat, I compiled it using the ushanka just like the video, but when I go to view my model in the model viewer it shows up as the ushanka but with a purple and black texture, and when I load up the actual ushanka model, it shows up as the textured ushanka model.

How has this happened because I have no clue!

Sup Agian. Did you mirror across the y- Axis? If so it i believe is caused by sing throuhg one side and looking at the back of it. Save your work and try, selcting it all and pushing "ctrl-J" to bring it to the same side. Let me now if it works!

There has been no mirroring involved with my model, the head is one solid object, the changes I made like the teeth and eyes were mirrored, to make sure they are in the same place, but it's all one object.

Ok I found the solution, There was a light source in the mouth of the head, which only lit up his mouth, It's all good now, except I have another problem...

How do I remove those black lines, they stay even after I paint over them

if you want to make them be together, in object mode select first hat, then horns, then click object > join objects
dont forget to save before doing this so if you dont like it you could recover

would making them one object make a better AO Bake?

I appreciate the help you've given me, and the help you've given other, but could you be an even greater samaritan and bake this bloody model for me? This thing is driving me friggin' insane!!

This is what it looks like after I baked it:

This is the Horns after baking:

Ok, So following your tutorial, I UV mapped them in Blender, and when I bake it for the AO, the entire thing in texture mode comes out black, with very little light parts, so If I colour it, it's still very dark, any way I can lighten it up?

Can you post a picture of what's going on? It sounds like the horns and the rest of the hat aren't part of the same model. Make sure to unwrap everything, and then join the individual parts (ctrl+j in blender). If you have any overlapping UVs, the bake won't work.

Well, no, the Horns are a seperate entity, so I can adjust them accordingly if a problem shall arise, but the problem is baking in Maya, should I bake in Maya or Blender, baking in Maya makes the horns pretty much black, and the Head itself is white with black patches.

I've actually found your tutorial, And I made another hat following your guide, and all is good, but more to the horns, I've UV mapped it in Maya, not blender, Would It be better to Map it in Blender?

Ok, So I'm making a hat, and the problem I'm haveing is to do with baking, It has horns, and they are seperate entities from the hat itself, so once I've got the UV's ready (I think I'm doing something wrong there as well) I go to bake it, but the horns are pretty much elongated cones, and they curve and such, and baking it ready for texturing turns then out completely black, so should I just go ahead and texture? or should I try to solve this baking problem.

I started it in Blender and I moved it into Maya.

Any help would also be appreciated.
