Hmmm. Recall I mentioned that I suspected the AO node behavior has changed.
I just tried it and found that the Max Distance parameter is not acting the same as it used to. Long ago I wrote that it was different than the max distance of light-based AO. It seems (after just a quick test) that they may have corrected that. (I wrote long ago that it seemed like the AO node was off by a factor of 12, indicating that some programmer got his feet and inches mixed up - but that was just a theory.)
In which case, you need to increase the max distance by at least a factor of 10 vs. any of the old Poser-7 era examples.
I just did one with 150 inches that was more similar to what I used to get with 12 inches.
Oh ok. The settings I had used were from a thread in 2013...so this may also be why its not working right.
