Reply To: In baking AO, why is it unnecessary to check "bake from multires", even though it's necessary in baking displace map?

[Kent Trammell]

I’m not sure why it works this way, but when baking AO the system looks at the render resolution of your multires set by in the modifier – regardless of the “Bake from Multi-res” option. There must be separate algorithms for the displacement, normal, and bump bakes that are triggered by the “Bake from Multires” option.
