I've been trying to bake the textures in the way you recommended, attaching directly to the material output and the same settings you said. It works for the eye textures and the body a textures, but the body b textures just become completely blank. When viewed in the image editor with Color and Alpha it is just blank, fully transparent, while just Color shows it as only black. The body a textures end up looking completely right on the other hand.

Send over a few full-screen screenshots over this way so i can understand what's happening better. But it's likely that you didn't set it to raw/channel packed. or something funky is going on.

I had it as channel packed from following the tutorial, tried to set LYM to Raw but nothing changed. It should be fine as Piplup is pretty inconsistent in everything it shows up in about whether it has the blue eyes or not. It does in the game, but it should still work with black eyes for what I want it for.

likely something funky is going on here, too. I'll have to see what your stuff looks like to accurately guess at what's going on. I'm thinking that it's either not set to raw/channel packed or you've messed up the color assignment stuff when setting it up.

Here is an album of everything. Weirdly I'm getting different results when baking than I was earlier despite not changing anything. https://imgur.com/a/nWdFwp2

mh- i think i might know what you're doing wrong. when you're baking, you're overwriting the textures that are already there, rather than writing on a new texture. That's on me, since i didn't explain it.

duplicate one of the texture nodes using ctrl+d or just add in a new one normally. if you duplicated it, click the 'x' button on the far right of the node, next to the name bar. now, click on the '+new' button and in there change the Width and Height to 2048x2048 or 2048x1024 depending on the texture stuff. (if you had to flip the UVs, then use the latter- if no, do the former).

once that's done, name the texture whatever you want and then make sure that the other materials that're connected to the model also have this done, but without the texture making part- just leave them blank, until you go to bake them. in which case, you make the other textures in the adjacent materials blank with only the one having a texture. sounds complicated, but it's really not.
Just need to have only one texture baking per material, per bake, with blank texture nodes selected in the other materials so that nothing will be overwritten.

once you've done all that, it should be ready to bake.

not that sorry about late reply, but i had literally passed out in the middle of writing this, and only finished it now.
