[Bf-committers] [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [44523] trunk/blender/intern/cycles: Cycles: ambient occlusion support, with AO factor and distance, and a render pass.

[Michael Fox]

Wouldn't AO be a post process, given you are sampling irradiance, then 
put ao on top after each sample instead of building on th ao'd sample, 
wouldn't that allow for multiply, add and subtract
