Ambient Occlusion Material(s) for RS3D V5.1 or later


To load the materials, go to file->load and uncheck 'replace' just to be sure
nothing's overwritten. The file includes six materials, four custom channels,
a render setting and a bunch of post effect stuff. The shaders that don't have
the _blurred prefix  don't use blur, the effect is calculated straight into the
object's illumination so you don't need the posteffects with it. The ones that
have _blurred in their names , surprisingly, do use a post blur so they need
the post effect to render properly. To do this just use the 'AO_effects'-
post effect and 'AO rendering'- render setting. Use the 'AO_normal_effects'-
post effect if you plan on using the bent normals for something.

Material Controls:

        Ambient Color
                defines the color of the ambient light.
	Shadow Color
                defines the color of the 'shadowed' areas
        Distance fading
                fades the effect based on distance.
                
        Radius
                kind of like the radius in point lights....
                
        RayCount1
                duh.
                
        Disable secondary ray AO
                disables AO in reflections/refractions.
                
        Bounces
                the highest recursion that still renders AO.
                
        RayCount2
                raycount for secondary ray AO

New on this release:
  - Bent normals (rendered to the AO_normal channel)

New on previous release:
  - Added shadow color
  - Set randomness to 1000 to make sure it's uniform
