If you get your naming conventions right i'm sure you could whip up a photoshop macro to automate the process of combining and resaving fairly painlessly...

Also,James, I'm not sure what you're suggesting? My AO is set on the camera. i don't want to go through each material and re-apply it as that's a big headache. >>> >>> On 15 October 2012 06:22, Leonard Koch <[email protected]> wrote: >>>> >>>> I recently solved this by computing AO in ice and using that vertex map in the rendertree which put the AO directly in the color map and was also a lot faster.

It appears that to render ambient occlusion into the rendered texture map, it has to be done as a separate pass then photoshopped together? As I have quite a few objects to generate these maps for, this is doubling my workload. Is there a way around this and render the AO in with the Surface Colour and Illumination map, or am I approaching this in the wrong way? >>>>> Thanks >>>>> Chris >>> >>> > > > > -- > > Chris Marshall > Mint Motion Limited > 029 20 37 27 57 > 07730 533 115 > www.mintmotion.co.uk > > -- www.matinai.com
