Ambient Occlusion?

[LaydeeDem]

I am using Blender, and I have my AO map, and I have my texture. How to I add the AO to my texture?

I don\'t have blender and use another 3d application, but you should have an option to 'Bake' the texture.

Yes. I know how to bake it. I just don\'t know how to add it on to my texture.

This is how I do it - maybe not the correct way - but pretty good nonetheless:

Do your AO bake on a white, matte, claylike material (default white minus specularity low intensity I guess).

Open your texture in Gimp.

Open your AO Map in Gimp and paste it onto a layer above your texture.

Set the AO layer to multiply.

Does an amazing job adding that finishing touch! Like I said, maybe not the right way, but it certainly looks good (imo).

Thank you so much! If anyone has the proper way to do this, please tell me how!
