Hello Benclark, Thanku so mach for the awesome tutorial. I have been in the process of discovering few tricks and techniques in baking an AO map. Presently im working on my Centurion M41 tanker, here is the link

The query Iam going through is that I have a set of totally 4 sets of uv maps, i.e I have broken down the entire tanker model in to 4 divisions since I couldn't accommodate them in 1 single map. Now if I happen to bake the AO.....should I bake them individually or entirely. If I happen to bake them individually, I might be losing a lot of depth details at the point of intersection between 2 adjacent faces or if I happen to bake them entirely, how would the uv's co-ordinate since its a set of 4 individual maps. Im in the process of trial and error streets......I would really appreciate if you suggest me with good tips.
