The “Super Model Army Knife” package is a cheap little toolkit (only $15!) that can generate ambient occlusion and normal maps and bake them into models for you, improving the detail of rendered models with minimum impact to rendertimes.

  • Render great-looking normal maps using a high-res model and/or from a texture.
  • Render great-looking ambient occlusion maps up to 2048×2048 in less than a minute.
  • Generate “color bleed” lighting maps.
  • Use “Ground occlusion” to easily simulate the effects of the ground.
  • Parallelized raytracer is super fast, utilizing multicore processors.
  • Support for loading and saving .obj Silo .sia and Collada .dae files.
