Cycles, weird shadows appear on baked textures I am having a bit of a trouble with the cycles bake. Every time i bake my texture's , a bunch of weird shadows appear in the baked textures as you can see from these pic's. The weird part is that i did pretty much the same thing to a model last night and it worked perfectly. Keep in mind that i am still just a beginner when it come's to cycles rendering.

Could this be a lighting problem or something like that?

--Before Bake--



--After Bake--
Dark areas on textures normally have one of the causes listed below:


You have overlapping geometry
You are baking combined textures, which means that you among others also bake the shadows. 


According to the screenshots you provided we have both cases here.
