Ambient Occlusion Mask > General
| Mask
Curve
curve editor Controls how the ambi-
ent occlusion pixel val-
ues relate to the degree
of masking. The hori-
zontal axis is the dark-
ness of the occluded
pixels (black to the left,
white to the right), the
vertical axis is the
degree of visibility. By
default, this is a direct
line, where white pixels
are totally masked, black
pixels are totally
unmasked, and 50%
grey is 50% masked.
Ambient Occlusion Mask > General
| Mask
Contrast
entry box,
slider
The contrast applied to
the ambient occlusion to
derive the mask. At 1.0,
the mask comes directly
from the calculated
ambient occlusion.
Lower values make the
mask fuzzier than the
ambient occlusion,
higher values make it
sharper.
