Baked Ambient Occlusion and Shadows

[jesusyoshi54]

I've been experimenting with ambient occlusion and shadows and created a couple demo levels. I made a comparison to show the different ways you can add these effects and how they look in the levels. From what I can see, ambient occlusion looks good with vertex colors while shadows do not. Overlaying your textures with a shadow map can look good but is hard to implement accurately.
