ambient_occlusion binding missing

[bmahlbrand]

The following code on 2.6.1 installed via pip fails, is the new binding missing? Happy to investigate (PR etc) if given some hints. I'm guessing it has to do with the wheel on pip possibly not being built with embree?

occ = igl.ambient_occlusion(verts, faces, verts, n, 256)

AttributeError: module 'igl' has no attribute 'ambient_occlusion'

That one doesn't exist (happy to merge a PR).

But the faster embree one does exist:

occ = igl.embree.ambient_occlusion(verts, faces, verts, n, 256)

Just sharing my experience for people who may have the same problem.

Using

import igl

# setting up verts, faces, and n first
# run the code
occ = igl.embree.ambient_occlusion(verts, faces, verts, n, 256)

can lead to an import error. However, using the following works,

from igl.embree import .ambient_occlusion

# setting up verts, faces, and n first
# run the code
occ = ambient_occlusion(verts, faces, verts, n, 256)

I am using libigl 2.6.2.dev0 from PyPI.
