Title: Break Up AO
Post by: kmwhitt on 2018-10-03, 15:05:37

It's probably a very simple solution, but it's not coming to mind.  How is it possible to break up AO in the diffuse channel?  In other words, I like to add a texture map, to create breaks in what is normally a very linear effect.  Thanks in advance.

I have no clue what you're talking about.

Could it be that the texture channel inside the AO shader could solve your problem(see pic.)

Or do you want a texture to be used as a mask in the layer or fusion shader, masking out parts of the AO?

Eddoron - thanks for the reply.  Yes, would like to use AO as mask and read somewhere on here that it would not work with layer shader.  What would AO in a layer or fusion shader look like?
