Okay, the facts are:

Yes, Render Studio's Advanced AO editor from RDNA.

Poser 7 - which does okay on its own, but...

The aikobot has a lot of pieces with strange names -- at least, I assume that's what all the pieces are when they come up on the AO editor -- there's a boatload of them.

The editor launches, and then -- in theory -- I get to check off which pieces of the whole scene I want to use the AO on.  Works fine on the human figure alone, but with the aikobot in the scene, it won't allow me to check anything.  (Well, I can check things, but then it doesn't apply them -- and the "check all" function doesn't work.)

I suspect the aikobot has some fancy stuff going on with reflections, transparencies, etc. -- though I'm no expert on any of that.

I'll attach one version of the render below, in case it helps to see it.

Really, I'd just like to add some AO shading on bits of the human figure where clothes meet skin, etc.

 

Thanks, everyone.
