[Papervision3D] Baking light and shadow in Maya

[Jon Bradley]

You can also use mental ray if you want to bake additional  
information, such as occlusion or GI (final gather) into your texture  
maps. Just be aware that it requires accurate UV mapping and possible  
adjustments in Photoshop (or your image editor of choice) of the end  
texture, because edges of the UVs in the texture will be padded  
slightly during the bake process.

You just select your object, make sure the Mayatomr.mll is loaded in  
your plugins and then go to "Lighting/Shading" and "BatchBake (mental  
ray)". From there it's just a matter of checking the docs to make  
sure your settings are correct. If you don't see the "Lighting/ 
Shading" menu, make sure you are in "Rendering" mode.

cheers,

jon
