Indirect Illum - Ambient Occlusion

V-Ray V-Ray for 3ds Max Requests

..should be an option/NOT grayed out even if GI is off.

If GI is off, V-Ray never gets to the code that does ambient occlusion. For now, if you need AO without GI, it would be best to use other means (VRayAmbientLight or VRayDomeLight).
