[Bf-committers] Cycles + AO + Transparency

[Agustin Benavidez]

I am pretty sure it does work with transparent BSDF, and not with caustics
i.e. using glass bsdf , so if you are using glass bsdf, use light path node
to switch to transparent bsdf at least for shadow/diffuse rays or whatever
ray you need.
