curve editor,
reset Controls how the ambient occlusion
pixel values relate to the degree of
masking. The horizontal axis is the

(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.
