I've been trying to bake a high poly model onto a normal map to use on a lower poly model but the whole image always is completely blue.
I'm using blender, this is what I did:
*UV'd the default cube
*Switched to object mode, duplicated the cube
*Set Bake settings to normal only, tangent mode, tried the bias and distance at a few different settings, and tried "Selected to Active" on and off.
*The edited the second model to have more detail, and hit bake with it selected (also tried with the simpler one selected).
Just bakes a light blue screen as if the model had not been changed or something.
Help?

But I would suggest you either ask at the Blender forums, or go the #blender IRC, I'm sure they'd know.
