Hello people. I'm working on a project and I wanna use Unity as my render engine. The simple and straightforward quick render pleases me and I don't have to wait since it's in real time.

If I set it to 120fps I get a nice gradual turntable but at the cost of 2000 frames to be rendered. :/ Never done an animation/turntable before so was wondering…
Is it possible to render to texture an Ambient Occlusion map. If I just have the low poly model and no hi res model for projection mapping? Ive been trying it with the render to texture dialog box and just not enable projection mapping and render to texture a lighting map and Raytrace material on the object and a skylight…
