Ambient Occlusion 2

Once I have worked out how to make ambient occlusion on the simple primitives i tried to make it on my actual model. And what a surprice! mental ray doesn like my textures, it simple gives me and error mesagge saying this jpg. files are not recognizable. I have found a way around it by dublicating the scene and deleting all the materials and history of the objects (because of that i won't be able to work out if ambient occlusion works for bump maps, there are plenty of them on the crown body) Only then ambient occlusion worked well.

Today I have been messing around with ambient occlusion, trying to work how to use it. Want to show you some results :)

Just another step: clothes using nurbs curves and lofting them
Nurbs surfaces converted to polygons meshes and textured.
