Baking Houdini Ambient Occlusion

I just bought a new Hard Drive for my computer at home, so I’m in the process of replacing my 80gb main drive with a 1tb drive. It will probably take a day or two for me to finish installing my OS and drivers. In the meantime, I’ve finally gotten around to adding another tutorial that I did a while ago. You can get to it through either my tutorial section or through the Houdini Exchange.

The tutorial is actually encapsulated within a Houdini file since the program actually allows one to write comments on each individual node. If you want to follow it, and don’t have Houdini… I suggest you download the free apprentice version.

Edit: Someone took the time to translate the description of this file to Japanese!
