    Colored Ambient Occlusion

    Posted by Brian Murphy on August 31, 2015 at 6:42 pm

    Hey guys,

    Is there a way to color the ambient occlusion effect instead of it always being grayscale? I am trying to replicate a certain type of plastic on an object and to have a specified color in the area where AO is applied would work really well.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!
    Brian

    If you’re using the post effect there’s a color gradient in the effect settings. If you’re using the shader you can put it inside a colorizer shader (in color channel — diffuse is B&W only).
