Code to make AO with no UI

[Madeira3d]

Hi ,

I need to save screen real estate and the baking takes up to much room and I would like to assign the AO with a distance of x to a quick python script.

Can someone help me with a sample? I'm not a Python programmer but I think I can understand the code enough to change it for my needs.

Can someone help please?

Thank you 

Sergio

Hi ,

A co-worker helped me with the code, in case you are interested here it goes:

Can someone from AD add a enhancement request to add the bake Weighting Cosine available also via the API?

Thanks

computeAmbientOcclusion(quality=4, minDistance=1, maxDistance=3000, indirectIllumination=True, colorBleeding=True, gatherQuality=4, numIndirections=2, subdivide=False, minEdgeLength=1, overrideMaterialColor=False, materialColorR=0.7, materialColorG=0.7, materialColorB=0.7, subdivisionQuality=1, intensityThreshold=0.05)

Hi, I've added your request to make the weighting option for vertex baking available in Python.

For texture baking, (vrBakeService.bakeToTexture), the option can be set:

illumSettings = vrdIlluminationBakeSettings()
illumSettings.setAmbientOcclusionWeight(vrBakeTypes.AmbientOcclusionWeight.Cosine)
#...etc
texSettings = vrdTextureBakeSettings()
texSettings.setSamples(128)
texSettings.setUseDenoising(True)
#...etc
vrBakeService.bakeToTexture(geoNodes, illumSettings, texSettings)
