Yes its the same, because there is nothing around your robot to reflect light onto it.
Place a wall or two around the robot, and also a floor. Observe the difference then.
When you see the pre-calculation for IDL, and it is all black except for the red dots indicating where sampling happens, it tells you that nothing will be different. Black = 0. Nothing to reflect = 0. Therefore nothing to reflect = black.
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)
