Maya: considering Hard edges when baking vertices AO

Air0ne

Hi there,

I'm using Maya 2015 and I'm trying to figure out how to bake my AO through my vertices using my hard edges as a "cut" to split the vertex color propagation. I'm sure I did it before but I'm confused as I'm not able to reproduce the process

In the example below, it's the same model. The left have been done 2 days ago and the baking was fine. But when I try now with the right one, the result is completely different

Here are my settings

Hummm... I created 2 simples boxes (Harden and soften) and the occlusion seems to work properly. I guess my model is to blame... How can I clean it up?

Ok I managed to fix it. I exported everything in OBJ with all the option OFF (smoothing group included). I exported everything back and had to redo all the smoothing group. Then I had to use theses settings to make it happened



As it's hard to read, the values are 0 then 175.0000

Hope it will help someone one day :P
