anyone know how to bake shadows into a material?...not vertex coloring.

S'cuse my ignorance here.. er.. but why would you want to???
In what kind of scenario are you talking of ?

for exporting to real time

final Render does it as well as baking out any proceduals used, I'm not sure what else you might be able to use? Check http://www.finalrender.com for more info anyway.

LIghtScape does this using a MESH TO TEXTURE FUNCTION, Similar to Texture Baker in FinalRender
