Materials for high poly presentation

JoshWilkinson

Ive seen a couple shots of high polys using a cool shaders that changes color within ambient occlusion. I'm digging the created effect and was hoping somebody could explain that process to me? I generally use modo and keysot for my renders so if any documentation is catered to those softwares in particular, that'll be great!

Looks like modo has an Occlusion Layer system.

I was wondering this too, looks so awesome

Those renders are by Tor Frick, who is super talented and a rather nice fellow. Maybe ask him about his render setup directly?

And then let us know.

I've been wondering about this for ages. If it's high enough poly, and your computer can handle it, I know you can bake AO to vertices in Maya, and choose the bright and dark colours. I've yet to try that, though. (Edit: Just tried it; it doesn't seem to work the way I thought.)
