MC,
If we're seriously going to talk about AO, we have to separate theory from practice (how it is actually implemented in Poser).
Since IDL was introduced, AO misbehaves and produces horrible and unavoidable artifacts.
I wanted to post a grime shader recently, using AO to find crevices and grunge them up. This was in response to your dirty jeep thread. But it is totally broken.
So my one-page you-need-to-know-without-explanation statement stands. Don't use it.
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)
