shader & render Q's

I got a question that has been bugging me.

Is it at all possible to some how project how a shader renders out any color maps in the render window and bake that same style onto a texture map?

If that makes sense, if not this image might help put my words into a more visual understanding:


They combined CS with max right or did i dream that up?!

i *think* this can be done in max using the Render To Texture dialog (press the 0 key), and selecting 'Complete Map' as your output.
