Hi Anyway to make AO shadow more neutral grey and less blue. Shadow on yellow objects looks too green.

If I reduce blue level of the sky then sky becomes too white and does not look appealing for cartoons. Can we have a separate option to adjust shadow color for AO to match diffuse. Unfortunately we cannot use diffuse for animations it is still too slow.

Thanks

Hi
you can
1. render blue sky without any models as background plate
2. modify sky color and render scene with alpha enabled
3. combine them in post
