There's another useful trick to this method, and that is to instead of assigning a <b>Texture Bake Set</b> you assign a <b>Vertex Bake Set</b>. This way you can make cheap occlusion calculations on high density meshes without UV's. Then you can use the Transfer Maps function to bake that information to a texture on your low density mesh. Always happy to help out! :)

I've been considering this the past few days but have been too busy to figure out how exactly to go about doing it in Maya, so it was good timing. Thanks a bunch :) Very useful stuff.
