Occlusion map?

[Vizfizz]

Haven't tried it with EI.. but have you looked at CrazyBump?

Brian thanks for your response.

Now I haven't heard of it. How is it? Is it Windows only? I'm looking in to it now.

I would like a mac-based ambient occlusion map maker.

BTW, have you tried it in Maya?

Hi Alonzo,

I use C4D 10.5 to bake ambient occlusion into a map and open Uv's intact via Obj2fact.

Hi Alonzo,

since you are also a Maya user, this might be interesting for you:

Thanks guys, I did find the information I was looking for shortly after I posted.

I have been on a 3 day excursion with low-res geometry mapping. It started with Normal Maps in Maya which I didnt realize it could do. So it does every mapping type (AO, Disp, Norm, etc) directly to the model.

Then I tested the AO rendering that is just like EIAS. I knew there was an object based AO map with xNormal but I didn't want to go to PC. Yesterday, I finally did use the AO/Bake tutorial that Stefan suggested (thanks) and it's good but you have to prep your low rez model well for it to look good.

Zbrush has a very fast AO map but I wasn't sure how to view it until I did the Mudbox tutorial. Mudbox seems to have one of the "easiest". In ZB it's just as inuituitive and simple, problem is I couldn't see it because I had to switch to a flat color.

I was a little suprise that there isn't much info on it in ZB...but it just a maskingt type.

I would looking for ways to improve the Doll Dresses should my animation bid go through.

This is the AO mapped in EIAS on the HiRes object which of course is not the point but it should be effective when I have low Res geometry. BTW. these are two different model edits. This concludes my study into low res cloth geometry.
