As a Landscape Designer I find AO doesn’t work well for some plants - often making a plant look greyer and unnecessarily dark. This happens on some 2D and some 3D plants. But if I want the effect of the AO on hard surfaces (steps, buildings, furniture etc) but not on the plants, then I need an extra (tedious) step in my workflow exporting different AO outputs to manually blend in Photoshop.
Example with and without AO affecting some plants in an unhelpful way (especially climbing plants on the trellis) in a fake model:
Anyone else want to be able to toggle AO for some components?
