Light-based AO was improved enough in Poser 7 SR3 that it is better to use that instead of material-based AO. And with Poser 8 and up, AO is superfluous. It is automatically turned off now by Poser if you enable IDL, but when first released, that was not so and you had to remove it yourself.
In general, it is undesirable to use material-based AO simultaneously with light-based AO or with IDL. It's like wearing contact lenses and your old glasses.
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)
