Some added notes: You can substantially alter the quality of the AO by tweaking the parameters under the amb occ tab of the world buttons view (F8). Some things to take a look at are falloff and (under 246) the new approximate gather method which is faster and IMO better looking than the ray tracing method. If you do use the ray tracing method, there are several parameters to control how blender selects the sampling rays. Nice to see this tut. It's a super easy way to add some realism to models at zero processor cost. Maybe someday we will have normal maps and specular maps in FG, and we can do even more baking!
