Load VSS_PR3_AO if you want the AO. Load VSS_PR3_NO_AO if you don't. Is this a new area for you? I get so used to just saying AO this AO that, I sometimes forget it might be a mystery.
AO (Ambient Occlusion) is a ray-tracing shadow effect that is used with IBL to generate darker areas in crevices and tights spots, like armpits, the eyewhite near the lids, etc.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
