Hello

I would like to request the octane team to add to the list a "ambient occlusion texture node"
that can be used for many purposes, a nice example would be: to simulate dirt in sculptures, buildings etc...
Or to derive and mix any material properties we need...

Here is an example that I simulated with texture baking of a sculpture, in the right side image has ambient occlusion deriving a dark opaque material, and the roughness of the glossy material, the left side image has no ambient occlusion for comparison....

Best regards
Filipe

Here is another example, this time using the ambient occlusion map to apply golden material in cavities.

and a + for shadow catcher

+ everything

(though, as pointed out this effect is currently doable with an AO baked map)
