To use this in a texture you use Render to Texture to bake it onto your diffuse map. Just like when you bake a normal map though, you cant have any overlap in your UVW's.

Awesome! You certainly deserve more views!!!! I'm gonna post this video to some places so you get more views. One question tho. With ambient occlusion all I have is a gray material with good shadowing. My question is, how can I use any other material but with the realism of ambient occlusion. Materials like SSS skin and other. If it was a picture render I could easily render both with normal materials and AO materials and combine them in photoshop, but in a video I can't really do that... hellp!
