Burning GI to surfaces

[pomme]

Nice website, hope some of you know the answer to this, it's a feature I find useful. Global Illumination takes a while to render, is there a way to have the lighting burned as an incandescent texture into the surfaces using XSI.

I only want to animate the camera and feel that I could get away with this feature. My school has xsi 2

Use Get>Property>Rendermap. (In XSI 2.0)

Don't know if this is "polite" to ask, but would anyone have a clue how this could be done in Maya?
I know these "Light maps" trough the MI reference guide, but don't have a single clue on using it trough Maya... would be super-useful feature...

Edit: Oh and thanks Ed, your tutorials at the website were very usefull when I was playing with MR for the first time... thanks!
