Unable to bake an AO with Maya 2016
polycounter lvl 3
Okay so I'm new to Maya and I've looked online at a lot of tutorials on how to bake an AO, none of which are using 2016. All of which use Mental Ray.
The steps they take are to enable it in the plug-in manager window. It's not there, so for some stupid reason Autodesk did not include Mental Ray with 2016. Is there another way of baking an AO that they haven't told us?
I downloaded the mental ray plug-in from online and used browse in the plug-in manager to find the mayatomr.dll but I just get an error... http://prntscr.com/7gp755
Please can someone help? All I want to do is bake a damn AO. Why isn't it as simple as pressing an icon in my hotbar. Is Autodesk not aware that 3D artists need AO's? I've wasted two whole days trying to do this so I need some help ASAP please.
