heni30 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Hi, My lights that are up near the ceiling and they are showing up black in the ambient occlusion pass. Any way to avoid this? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Thomas Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Which renderer are you using? It would be much easier to help if you posted in the relevant software forum rather than WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heni30 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Here's the project (due tomorrow) showing before and after AO layer applied in Photoshop in Multiply mode and tweaking opacity and contrast. It seems like it needs to be used in a very subtle way to enhance tonal contrast. Effect is more noticeable at higher res. 1st time I try it. Am very sold on it.

hockley91 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I guess it's too late to reply to the lights, but perhaps you were using a Vray light and "invisible" was not checked. By the way, I never thought of using the ambient occlusion as a layer for Photoshop...I'll have to try that sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
