Quote - that renders the view of the object in the viewport tho.. not onto the mesh's texture map / UV space...

I understand that.... Just thougt it an option, because muralist was asking about the temp files used by Poser during rendering.

Still, I am curious... how do other programs "render" the AO effect of a part of a model not seen by the cam ?

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.
