AMBIENT OCCLUSION nightmare


#1

Hello everyone,

I have been struggling for hours now.
Everytime i bake an AO from Mari, I get some strange results.
I’ve been reading on some forums that baking the AO from Mari is not ideal and that it was better to extract an AO maps from other 3d packages.
Therefore I tried to bake and export the AO maps from Maya. But I still didn’t work out how to do it for an object with multi tile textures.
Is there anyone there who could explain me the process? I’m banging my head on the wall , it hurts :’(
Peace out !

Hi there,
I usually use xNormal for baking out maps. It is free and gets the job done just fine.
You can find tutorials online on how to use it. I have never used MARI for AO maps to be frank.
