Ambient Occlusion Renders

[Tralfaz]

I really like the look and feel of an AO render and have no problem doing an AO render on a white background (see example below).

 

I would like to be able to carry that look and feel to my final renders. Is it possible to do an AO style render when the model has been textured and it is in a scene with other elements without doing it as a white render?

 

Thanks...

Yes this is possible. I do this all the time now. Why don't you try AO on an older project? I believe you have some good ones you can try this on. Most likely you'll only have to change (dim / remove) some lights to get the look you like.

Very cool model! I've thought about making the B-9. Very nice. Any modeling suggestions for some who wants to make that model?

Well this example only has one object in the scene and the colour decals are turned down to nothing but the other surface properties, such as bump and diffuse colour are present:

This is also a colour render which uses AO: AO Cottages.
