It is possible to use post-work to simulate the Poser 6 AO feature. AO is about the subtle shadows where things meet in a scene even when well illuminated: floor where the figure and props rest on it, the corners of a rooms where the walls meet, and even the eye sockets of the face or the eyes where the eyelids rest on them. Ambient light is the light that fills a scene due to the illumination bouncing off one surface onto another; think of the light that refracts off the floor and walls to fill a room with light. Ambient Occlusion is an attempt to simulate the fact that this ambient light does not find its way into every nook or cranny in a scene. The surfaces for light to bounce off are simply of less surface area in the corners of a room or where volumes are very close to each other.

Quite often, a scene needs an object as a light source, whether it is a simple object or something more complex, having to move lights around all of the time can become tiresome. This tutorial will show you how to create an object based light source that can be moved around the scene as easily as other objects.

In this tutorial, we'll create a yellow ball that shines. Once you get to grips with it, there's nothing stopping you changing the colours for all sorts of fancy effects.

Many artists use backgrounds either taken from a photograph, or rendered in another program such as Terragen. When we try to put our Poser figures into this background, we either have to hand draw the shadows, or find some other means to enhance the realism of our endeavors.

This little trick enables the Poser Artist to incorporate his figure into a background image, and advanced use of the technique can even work no matter how cluttered the image!
