Ambient Occlusion and Vray Lights

[off the cuffe]

Hi Guys,

wondering if you could help.Rendering a seperate render channel using the vray extra texture channel, and using a dirt map to fake AO.My problem is everything works fine except I get square shadows on the ceiling were the lights are.Is there a way to get around this.I want to render the direct lighting into the AO channel, so I need to show the shadows and direct light for each light.The ceiling texture is just a plain vray material, white.

Any thoughts would be great.

Cheers

Why you just render the vray extra texture and the vray raw lighting too, and then you combine them on photoshop

Make sure to tick the check box that says "work with transparency" in your VRay dirt settings. That ought to solve your problem.

brendan do u mind posting screen shots of your vraydirt and render elements settings? MR has a great option to do an AO pass, but am struggling to get the same effect in Vray.

 

thanks a mil

To get an AO pass in vray you basically create (via the extratex) an override material with VRay dirt, which is an ambient occlusion shader but with more settings.
