It is now possible to bake AO for parts separately in Substance Painter

[Brian Tran]

I know this course is a bit old but I did want to give a heads up to anyone still swinging by. I don’t know when the feature was added but it’s possible to bake AO for separate parts of a mesh right in SP. All you need to do is apply a different material for each mesh part you want separate, then when baking AO in Painter enable “Only Same Mesh Name” for the Self Occlusion setting.

God bless updates and developers. Thanks for the heads up Brian.

Great! That makes things much easier.
