This is a tool for the Vizard VR engine to aid with preparing baked materials for export. Specifically, for transferring baked AO maps into composite layers with the diffuse map.
To use, go to customize user interface, and select "AO Bake Swap" from the category"# SP_BakeScripts". The button text will be "AOBakeSwap".

Description:
- Designed primarily for use with WorldViz software.
- On a baked material outputting to Standard:Blinn, copies the lightmap from the Ambient map slot, and the
diffuse map from the Diffuse slot into a new Composite material using the selected blending mode. (e.g. Multiply).
Usage:
- Select the already baked objects you want to do the conversion on. Select the blending mode. Hit "Convert" to convert
the materials on that object.
Limitations:
- Resetting the materials assumes that the composite maps contain both a diffuse map and a lightmap, with the
lightmap over the diffuse. Avoid using on objects that have this kind of material.
Known Bugs:
- Doesn't seem to work with Undo
ToDo:
-
