was it normality that also did SSAO with a normals map? (b= onus if you have a depth map too)

I hadn't much need for most Pixel Bender stuff, but that = one plugin was a real time-saver. =A0I think I'm happy with my solution= as a stop-gap on this current project, but I'll definitely keep that i= n mind for future use.

It's a plugin that runs Pixel Bender.

Now I need to figure out how to get that look back, as = the standard pass is too flat and dull.

There USED= to be a plugin / script called super SSAO or something like that, and it u= sed pixelbender to make fake AO on a prerendered animation or still. =A0it = was actually quite useful for quick renders from 3d and although it wasn= 9;t PERFECT, it was great for quick jobs that couldn't afford the rende= r times but still needed the extra depth.

Anyway.. does anyone know of a way to do this without t= hat plugin? (as far as I know pixelbender went away after CS5 so the plugin= i used to use is not going to work)

Maybe a few r= egular plugins that could create the same effect?

Thanks!
