Ambient Occlusion(AO) SFM Tip

[notlesdiassfm]

Hey, all.

I figured that I would start off with something that isn’t really a rookie mistake but something even guys who have been in the scene for years are unaware of, and that is the use of the float $ambientocclusion.

Regardless of skill, I usually see one of two things: AO is left to default values or AO is just entirely removed.

Now, everyone has their own styles and what not, but I believe this compromise I’m about to show you is not well-known. Note: this post is not meant to define AO but to help refine AO in SFM. If you want to know what AO is in general, ask Google.
