[legacy Baking Ambient Occlusion Maps for terrain using Blender 2.49

The video above shows the basic process (no audio) of using Blender 2.49 to bake an Ambient Occlusion map for a terrain mesh segment.

The result is then saved to a loss-less image format which can then be used to further develop final artwork for application to the terrain in-game.

Note that the process shown below applies to Blender 2.46 up to Blender 2.49, versions both prior and post these version require slightly different approaches to the same action.
