Using ambient occlussion to render a scene.
Hello,
I’m sort of new to C4D, and I’m using it on a job I am working at this weekend.
I am trying to render a product that I modeled and acheive a certain look. In another 3D program that I used, I would turn Ambient Occlusion on and put no lights in the scene. The ambient occlussion rendering would sort of light the whole scene with a soft diffused light (like from a sky dome) that I really liked. I am trying to recreate the same effect Cinema 4D.
As far as I can tell, since I am not an expert, it looks like the advanced render module is installed on this system. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to create this effect? Do I make a sky object first? How do I then invoke the Ambient Occlusion Shader?
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

You can use AO in materials or as a render effect. To use it for a whole scene, enable the effect in render settings and check “use sky environment” in the effect properties.
For the full clay render effect you could also use a light with the ambient illumination option turned on.
