Gleb Alexandrov is back with a new quick tip. Today, he uses an Open Shading Language script that can carefully control ambient occlusion on a rocket artillery model. It's also the first time we hear his voice!

Sure thing, he makes a brilliant stuff!
nice tip thanks for sharing
you're welcome ;)
Another good way to get a edge masks, is to bake a monochrom curvature map. The big advantage - you can use the texture in every engine.
Curvature map in Blender?
I'm also interested in hearing about the curvature map :)
It isnt possible with Blender, but we can use xNormal. It is a "free-to-use" tool for baking textures like normals, ao maps, cavity and alot more. Curvature maps included.
Curvature maps are a good starting point for gloss maps, too.
"Windows installer"
Danm!! I have a Ubuntu and a Mac!
This is the reason why I am forced to use Windows. I would love to use Ubuntu, but it isnt possible. Alot of applications arent available for Linux :/ ....but this is another story ^^
To compensate mac user have Crazy Bump for free! /
Хороший туториал, спасибо!
Very nice work, interesting video and a very effective result too.
May i know the diff of this, and AO render pass?
