βΊ CHAPTER DESCRIPTION: In Bonus 3 for the beginnerβs course for Keyshot, I will demonstrate how you can create your own custom Ambient Occlusion (AO) pass in Keyshot. Ambient occlusion will add some extra depth to your render, by creating additional contact shadows and small detail shadows, that you can add to your render during the post processing. The method I will show you will provide you a lot more flexibility in creating an AO pass than choosing the standard render pass option in Keyshotβs render window. β¬β¬β¬β¬β¬ βΊ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: Thank you for watching my tutorial.
