Bake Normalmap on Colormap

IS Situation:
I am using Substance Painter for texturing Models i use in Minecraft for example. I do not want to use shader ingame. Therefore i want to Bake the Normalmap shadows into the Colormap.
I tried to use Curvature Sobel in Designer to get this effect, but it was more a pain as a working result. 

I got this effect basicly from taking a screenshot from the Material 2D UV Preview like in picture 2.

The Bake Lighting Filter/Material does not work for me. 
Target Situation
We need a function to bake the shading of the normalmap directly onto a layer / generate a new colormap with the regarding shadow and lighting effects (like in screenshot 1)

Considering your worfklow, I would either try to change the Environment map to have lighter shadows, or use the Baked Lighting filter and export the Base Color.

    Hi Cyril, thanks for your quick answer and sorry for my late reply.
    I didn't know there was such an option. Certainly much better than by screenshot.

    Unfortunately, but also understandably, not only the normal map masks get a shadow, but the entire model texture.

    This is not what I am trying to achieve

    Is there perhaps another option I could try? 🙂

    Hello @PlayTics,

     

    I guess the most logical workflow would be to export directly the 2D viewport.
