i was wondering if there's a way to bake (scene scale) ambient occlusion information into an object vertex group?

I believe the only option is to uv unwrap the terrain, create a new image texture, bake a cycle material into an image texture (a destructive i'd like to avoid), then try to convert the uv image data into a vertex group. but this solution is something i'd like to avoid. as it's taking extremely destructive steps. is there a more direct solution?

Does this answer your question? How to bake to vertex colors in blender cycles? – brockmann Aug 08 '20 at 23:42
brockmann no unfortunately i was searching for a more direct solution – Fox Aug 09 '20 at 09:13

Could you please elaborate on how the "more direct solution" result would look ? – batFINGER Aug 09 '20 at 09:31
calculate a vertex based occlusion, a function that would receive point clouds as input and return normalized occlusion values ? – Fox Aug 09 '20 at 16:03
