Export Ambient Occlusion?

#1

I’m using Mudbox 2009 and I really enjoy the ambient occlusion filter. I have been searching high and low for a way to export the ambient occlusion that is created from the viewport filter. I have not found anything on this so I have come here seeking help.

This would be very helpful if there is a way.

Thank you

Although not directly available there is a work around shown in some of the vidoes I’ve done in the QuickStart and Ground up series. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding them on any one of a number of sites.

Hi Wayne,
I’ve gone through your site quickly but couldn’t see the tutorial. Is the method using the occlusion mask or is there a way of exporting occlusion as 1 map?
Could you please put a link here?
cheers
