Re: how high is too high of polycount
your mehs is fine... no need for a higher version... have you assigned the subD tag for the mesh... so that the mesh gets subdivided by mentalray during rendering..? here at 4:30 min https://vimeo.com/33319307 -
Re: Indoor AO Map Bake
While, you guys are on it. I had this so many times before, what would be the place to look for the Max Distance feature in "normal" Light Tracer rendering ? Or would this only work within the realms of MentalRay ? -

Re: another vampire guy
IF this was Max I'd say you have overlapping UVs in the baker for the black hair, and no smoothing groups, because MentalRay outputs that sort of map when you have those two problems - however, since you say the edges are all soft, I have no idea because I'm not familiar with Maya. -

Re: Normal Baking Issue
Looks like the highpoly and lowpoly are both being baked together as targets. Are you using mentalray as your renderer? I don't use mr for bakes, but I recall there being a need to manually hide the lowpoly faces. That could be it. -
Re: Texturing and file formats
