Tutorial: Ambient Occlusion - Baking AO with Light Tracer - Page 3

RETARDEDMONKEY: Your tutorial was really helpful, but I also noticed you said you never change the settings in light tracer. If you increase the rays/sample and filter size you'll get a smoother shadow.

Sorry new to the AO thing but, how do i get it to stay with my current Uvmaps rather then flattening it into new uvmaps as there kinda pointless to me without rendering onto my uvmap i already spent hrs making

Tonnie - In the Render to Texture window, there's an option to "Use existing channel." Click that drop down menu to say the number 1, and that'll typically be the UVs you already made. (Assuming it's just one texture)
