Global Illumination Bake?

Greg DAlessandro

Is it possible to bake global illumination into diffuse textures? (using maya) or other software/engines)

I'm curious if its possible so I can have really nice lighting without being costly. Thanks.

Yes, a lot of low spec games bake lighting information into the diffuse texture. I believe you just use transfer maps with Maya in order to do so.

you can use turtle in maya to bake GI to lightmaps

i believe you can set texture/vertex bake sets to 'indirect only' in maya.
