Tip: FR Ambient Occlusion

by a.cangelosi

In this tip tutorial for 3ds max we’ll continue to talk about FinalRender. This time we’ll take a look at Ambient Occlusion. It is a really known technique to create light occlusion details in a fast way without the need to calculate global illumination pass. We’ll see how to set it using the Cebas rendering engine, checking its parameters step by step.

      Thanks :) Sure I’ll add it to my release plan. In brief you can make some tests using a RGB Multiply in the Diffuse channel, then you can put your texture or color in the 1st slot and the Ambient Occlusion in the 2nd slot ;)

        Sure, you can use it with all the rendering engine. VRay has the possibility to add Ambient Occlusion directly on rendering on all objects too, but you can always use this trick just for some meshes.
