    Yeah, so when I go into render settings and click on ambient occlusion that is checked, I get a blank screen, no options.

    Correction, it is still on apparently, but it is NOT rendering accordingly, and the options to control it are not there.

    Looks like you have activated it for the Multipass feature. This ONLY allows you to save a pass of the ambient occlusion however you have to activate the actual effect.

    So next to the “Multi-Pass” button in your render window, you’ll see an “Effect” button, click on that and you will see “Ambient Occlusion”. Select it. This is where you will adjust your settings. This ‘effect’ has to be active for your AO multipass to render.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Brian, it was already activated. It is not rendering though. I have checked my settings and everything is right. It was working and suddenly stopped.
