With the light map, banana appears lit even when lights are turned off.
That is texture baking in a nutshell.
For best results, Logarithmic exposure control is recommended for Render To
Texture.
If Linear or Automatic exposure controls are used, each object will have
different lighting levels, generating a different histogram. Each object renders
as if it had a different light level and in some cases, you may not get a rendering
at all. This happens because Linear and Automatic exposure controls are view
dependent.
Logarithmic Exposure Control is not view dependent, and will reproduce the
image correctly. See the
Exposure Controls on page 6531 topic for more
information about Linear, Automatic and Logarithmic exposure controls.
