MatFX HBAO seem doesn't work for me

[Numity]

Hello, did anyone get Matfx HBAO work? Even I've change it to height or normal and it doesn't work, also the MatFx Detail Edge Wear the Invert Curvature doesn't work too :(

Did you bake the maps for the textures for the model (the curvature, thickness, normal, etc) in SP? Most gerenators require these to work.

Yes I've already knew that, but with their latest update, there are some new filters (HBAO, edge wear) doesn't need to bake, when you add those filter they automaticly baked and apply.

I can't get it to work too, other new filters seems to work but not this one.

Did you make sure to add an Ambient Occlusion channel in your texture set? It's not there by default.

Finally I know how to make it works, you need to add one more channels (add AO) in the TextureSet Settings panel, and your layer should have AO channel on, that is how it works!

We could add an option to apply the AO to the diffuse/base color channel instead of the AO channel in the future.

that would be nice, would be possible to add dropshadow other than diffuse based too?

nevermind, I just figured how to get HBAO working, I've actually had AO intensity set to 0 on display settings and the effect is exactly what I was needing, a drop shadow like for the rivets and bits on fuselage ;)
