Is there any way to get Vue to use an AO map like you might generate with CrazyBump or something like that ? It'd be rather handy to have but I have a feeling the answer is going to be no - Worth a shot though

Regards

Infinite can do  texture baking, but...they aren't muc use really outisde of the original animation

if I get you right? :)

problem being that they bake ambient lighting...but since that changes, it's no use on a mobile object, or when a scene changes.
however, for say, furniture, a building etc that is static, it saves lot of animation resources.

I always wondered about diffuse maps myself,like to give stuff the illusion of dirty. For your issue couldn't you just use an AO atmosphere?

yeah, I could use the AO atmosphere I suppose - I was wondering if I could use AO maps with the global ambience atmosphere 'cos it renders faster :)
