Krakatoa and ambient occlusion

Krakatoa for 3ds Max

Hi,

Is it possible to use ambient occlusion data with Krakatoa? Specifically I would like to use AO in the color channel but of course we cannot use MR occlusion or VRayDirt.

Not right now, but it is on the wishlist.

Thanks Bobo

BTW nice to meet you (shortly!) and great presentation in EUE, I obviously have plenty of work to do…

Hmm, certainly not as direct but you could fake it by using the AO maps as greyscale birth textures in a particle system.

It’s not terribly hard to do if you have Frost.

Do tell, I am intrigued :slight_smile:

Actually, last week we did a lighting setup in Unity3D where the ambient occlusion was generated by Krakatoa. Yay software!

You can see an example of the Frost to Krakatoa setup here… viewtopic.php?f=67&t=4467#p19145

The KCM’s are simple, just doing mesh sampling.
