If you find this img useful give it a go helped me with the tennis object if you need more explanation ask.
The normal folder and Krita are important the idea is to get more details out of the maps.
If somehow this is known it wasn't to me before this.
Enjoy...

What is it you're doing, exactly? It looks like you're either extracting height data from an AO generated from a normal map, or making an AO using three different height levels of a grain structure.
What is it you're starting out with and what is it you want to end up with? :]
