Ambient Occlusion

V-Ray for Revit V-Ray for Revit :: General
1

Can someone confirm whether Vray Revit does or doesn’t have ambient occlusion? I’ve heard and experienced conflicting info.

AO is important for a trusty NPR + Toon Line technique I’ve developed in 3DS to quickly show models to clients.
I’ve searched the menus in Vray Revit 2017 and can’t find the all-important Ambient Occlusion settings.
I was choked, so I got in touch with my license supplier, and someone from Chaos Group told him AO was possible. What the heck??

Albert,

AO is not an exposed feature in V-Ray for Revit currently, although you can use an override material with a dirt map applied, which is the same as ambient occlusion. Also, see my response to your post here: Ambient Occlusion - V-Ray for Revit :: Wishlist - Chaos Forum
