Ambient Occlusion Tutorial?!?
Hey, I am trying to create an ambient occlusion map in 3D max, I know there's a way you can do this where 3D max will pass over the object and create a map for me, but all I have found online are tutorials on how to create an ambient occlusion pass over my render and I can't remember for the life of me how to do it..… -
