public bool extractAO { get; set; }

Remarks

When this is set to 
true
, Unity saves the filtered Ambient Occlusion (AO) texture to disk as a separate lightmap, in addition to applying it to the regular lightmaps. When this is set to 
false
, Unity does not save the filtered AO texture to disk separately.
Use this if you need to access the AO data separately.
Note that the values from LightingSettings.aoExponentDirect and LightingSettings.aoExponentIndirect are not applied; instead, the default values are used. The resulting lightmap is saved to disk in the same location as the other lightmaps.
This only works when LightingSettings.autoGenerate is set to 
false
, and LightingSettings.ao is set to 
true
.
