See the link for an example of an ambient occlusion script for 3dsmax, and follow some of the links there to see what ambient occlusion is. I'm wondering if there might be something out there to do the same thing in Poser. Obviously, we wouldn't be rendering a true GI pass from within Poser (maybe in P6), but you could still set up a fake GI light rig and do basically the same thing. The benefit being, when you render the occlusion (GI) pass, it would render much faster, since there would be NO complex materials or heavy textures on any of the objects in the scene. Then, even for animation, all you do is composite the occlusion layer over the color render, and set it to "multiply", so that only the soft shadows blend with the color pass seamlessly. So what I'm looking for is a python script that could automatically change ALL the materials on every figure, prop, and hair object in the scene (including the ground plane) to a base white material with no specularity all at once. Is there something out there for this already, or.... ?
