Export Occlusion

[philnolan3d]

It would be nice if baked occlusion could be exported as a separate file to be used as a diffuse map. Currently it is flattened down into the color map so to save it out seperately you would have to hide it's layer and export, then show it and hide the other colors, then export again. Perhaps when occlusion is baked it could be placed on a separate layer with it's name locked to something like "occlusion_01", then the export knows to save that layer as a separate image.

Occlusion is baked onto new layer with special blending operation. So you can select and easily store it as a separate image.

Right but I don't see a way to export one layer as an image. Even so, it's still several steps to take instead of one. I.E. Hide the occ layer, save textures, unhide occ layer, save occ layer.

You can do all that with one command:

1) Editi->Edit current layer

or

2) Layers->Export/import->Export color

Oh OK thank you. What I did for now was export all layers to a PSD then I was able to clean up any of the color maps that weren't painted perfectly, then save out the layers as I liked.
