Bake Light and Shadows with python

Hi all,

I would like to bake the Ambient Occlusion to vertices with python, I probably missing something cause once I execute it, it just erases my previous Ambient Occlusion and keep it blank.

the code:

def bakeAO(): node_ptrs = vrNodeService.getSelectedNodes() # illuminationBakeSettings illuminationBakeSetting_ptr = vrdIlluminationBakeSettings() illuminationBakeSetting_ptr.setAmbientOcclusionMaximumDistance(3000.0) illuminationBakeSetting_ptr.setAmbientOcclusionMinimumDistance(1.0) illuminationBakeSetting_ptr.setAmbientOcclusionWeight(vrBakeTypes.AmbientOcclusionWeight.Uniform) illuminationBakeSetting_ptr.setColorBleeding(False) illuminationBakeSetting_ptr.setDirectIlluminationMode(vrBakeTypes.DirectIlluminationMode.AmbientOcclusion) illuminationBakeSetting_ptr.setIndirectIllumination(False) # textureBakeSettings textureSetting_ptr = vrdTextureBakeSettings() vrBakeService.bakeToTexture(node_ptrs, illuminationBakeSetting_ptr, textureSetting_ptr, replaceTextureBake=True) bakeAO()

the default settings I tried to reproduce:

the settings intended...

Thank you for your help.

The old vertex baking is currently not exposed in the new python API, you will have to use the vrAmbientOcclusion Module of the Python V1 API. The BakeService currently is only for texture baking.

Alright, it's confusing, but you saved my day!
Thank you @michael_nikelsky !
