If you are working in a producion and you're using this tool I will be very grateful if you could send me an email to let me know. Thanks!

NEW VERSION 2.0:!!

BakeAO works with Ctrl_Occlusion shader to add light direction to the occlusion map.
There is a tutorial inside the zip file.

And a brand new UI.

You need to install the Ctrl_Occlusion shader. See INSTALL.TXT for more info.

P.S. Thanks to Simon Edgar for his support / help

Thanks
