The way I do it is simpler.
As above, turn off diffuse and specular, and turn off lights.
Set Ambient color to middle gray.
Plug a "P" node into Ambient Value.
Adjust the "P" node so the relevant dimension is the only nonzero one. For instance, if the model is laying flat on the floor, the Y value should be about 0.1 and the X and Z should be 0.
It takes a bit of fiddling, but this starting point is usually pretty close.
