how to have vertex occlusion still visible with textures? (maya)

elementrix · Mar 2009

Hi,

Currently I am making a scene and I would like to bake in occlusion in the vertices, so I do this with the mental ray batch bake options,

when I baked my occlusion I can see it on my object but the texture that is in my Lambert is not visible any more, I tried all kinds of things but I can't get it working.

I basically want to have my occlusion in the vertices multiplied under/over my texture.

Thanks in advance.

Change your menu set to Polygons, look in the "Color" menu for "Color Set Editor".
Then, in the window that pops up, there's a "Display" menu where you can choose how your vertex color is displayed and how it will blend with the textures.

I tried all those things already, but I only have 3 results:

or the vertex occlusion shows up
or the texture shows up
or nothing shows up (object is also invisible)

Also, Display > Polygons > Custom Polygon Display > Check Color in shaded, choose blending.

Thanks man, that worked!

however there wasn't a "blending" option (but that might be because I use maya 2008 and you use another version) but I choose ambient+diffuse and it worked
