With the new PBR system. Do we need to bake Low poly to Low poly AO.
I thought this is calculated in real time.Might be a noob question.I am still learning.

You can bake vertex AO into the lowpoly. You do not want to bake AO into the diffuse. Most engines these days have things like SSDO and DFAO which creates occlusion in your scene.

The AO method depends on the game engine.
