For now I won’t give more control to the SSAO (or the other postprocess). Note that It’s not just a darkening, I’m using a certain [formula](https://blog.selfshadow.com/publications/s2016-shading-course/activision/s2016_pbs_activision_occlusion.pdf#page=78) that depends on the color. However I only use it for PBR, not matcaps or unlit, but I will probably use it as well for these mode. (simple darkening on the left, nomad on the right) ![Capture d’écran 2021-06-16 à 19.06.14](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/nomadsculpt/original/2X/7/7cac006c829f7eae8ec93e80fcefdad2ac5762e7.png) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.nomadsculpt.com/t/ambient-occlusion-is-desaturated-not-responding-the-painting-information/3105)._
