Title: AO/Dirt for both normals
Post by: sht on 2017-08-01, 15:54:58

Hi,

how can I get the Corona AO working for both sides?
Meaning concave and convex corners
Attached are two images for eather concave or convex working. What I need is both at the same time.

Thanks!

I would just use the layer shader and add 2 instances of Corona AO together...

Hi there!

It seems like you're using the AO shader in a way it was not intended to be used. Nevertheless, using the layer shader for combining the results should work fine (and it does work for me). Can you show us what does not work if you use the layer shader like astrofalcon suggested?

Is that one solid mesh? Or two cubes?

No need for a layered material. This example uses AO in the diffuse channel.
