Render to texture does not map correctly back onto object

[kenney001]

I am trying to do an animation for a school project, and I do not have a time window to render all the frames dynamically. Instead, I need to bake the shadows and details onto the object, to decrease rendering time.

The issue lies in, the fact that after I render-to-texture the object, the map it returns does not fit correctly onto the object. It seems to be using the objects old UVW coordinates, with the baked texture.

What do I need to do to get the object to use the new UVW coordinates, or get the render to use the old coordinates. I have treid both the "use existing channel"and "use automatic unwrap" boxes

--note the black bottom is a corner of the mis-UVWed texture that is apllied to the plain, and is not ALL black.

Any help is welcome.

Have you tried changing which texture it uses in the render? When you bring up the Render to texture dialog box (hotkey:0) at the very bottom it should have some option circles to set that parameter.
