With IDL you don't need AO. You must have the IDL parameters messed up. IDL includes contact shadows.
In any case, what is your Poser Display Unit set to? Is it inches? If so, you need to decrease the RayBias. At .4 inches, nothing closer than .4 inches will produce a shadow.
Also, I usually prefer Samples = 7, since the quality difference with 10 is tiny and not worth the extra render time.
Also, I usually set the MaxDist to a much larger number - the AO node seems to treat that value at about 1/10th what you think you're setting it to. I use 48 to 60.
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)
