I have seached the board, but didn't really find an answer.

I have a high res character and want to transfer the amb occ pass to a low res by using the low res UV. Does anyone know how that is done?


Best regards from the cold North

Turtle2.0 by IlluminateLabs have a very nice baking tool that can do that.
Have a look at this page: http://www.illuminatelabs.com/tutorials/surftrans2/surftrans2.html

I don't know if it can be done with Maya's native bakingtool, I'm not a MentalRay user.

yep i would head on over to illuminate labs. turtles 'surface extraction' tool is great. pretty much just wop the low res over the top and voila! baked normals, ambOcc lighting etc etc
