Quote - Here you are. This use of AO automatically adjusts to which way the surface faces. If it faces up - there will be almost no AO. If it faces side - there will be 1/2 AO. If it faces down, there will be full AO.

The top two balls are original - unmodulated AO - straight from Poser.

The white ball shows my modulation function. This is what you would have put in the control map, but now you do not need to.

The two lower balls show the modulated AO. Compare each to the one above.

'up' may (is) not really specific enough... is there some way to base it on direction to light-source?
