I have searched high and low. It appears that AO is easily done using UberEnvironment lighting in D|S 3 advanced.

But is Material based AO possible in plain old D|S 3?

Also if I may, where the heck is that node based shader mixer I keep seeing? I can't find it anywhere in D|S 3.

Shader Mixer BETA is a part of Daz Studio 3 Advanced. Its precursor Eilir can still be found somewhere around here, I think.

Not in plain DS3, but pwSurface 2 does offer surface-based AO (and other effects) http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/-/pwsurface-2?item=8258&_m=d

Thank you. I'm beginning to wonder by the time I purchase all the plugins I need to do what I want if it isn't more economical to simply buy D|S 3 Advanced.:tongue1:

That would be a yes. Watch for a special - they happen from time to time. There might even be one on now...

Material Based Occlusion is possible inside Ds3 Adv through either the Shader Mixer or the Shader Builder. But you have to build it by your own (or use a tut somwhere else).

I've added a dbm file for the Shader Mixer (open Shader Mixer then File load...apply to surface) which is a very simple Material with occlusion

[EDIT] It seems that I can't upload such a file. Do you now a place where I can?

Many file-hosting sites exist -for what it's worth I use 4Shared. However, if you save a Shader Preset for your shader it can be used 9though not reconfigured) even by people with only the free base version of DS3 - .dbm files need DS Advanced to use.

Why not put it up in freestuff here?

The Shader Preset is an good Idea...thx for that

 

If you have DS Advanced you can even load the brick setup from the scene after you have aplied the preset to some object. As mentioned it is just a simple basic setup.

You can find it in my Free Stuff Area once approved

PS: No limitations, use it for what ever you need as long as it aligns with whatever DAZ Rules.
