Sorry about that, I just realized for some reason I had my settings all mixed up in my sIBL folder and now I think everything is fine. Thank you Ignore that last post.

When rendering out an AO layer my background is plain black. And yes I have changed the color to white, but still comes out black and also all my geometry is fairly grey. I am using an IBL node and cant figure out how I can override that so I can have my BG white. Any suggestions?

But you could render a 2nd pass with the mask objects white and everything else black and then precomp that over the top of your occlusion render.

I need a true AO layer is a true matte for one object. I can not multiply or mix any of the three images above into a working matted AO pass. Can you please help?? I want exactly what I am seeing in your third picture - but with all of the other objects in the scene besides the sphere casting and excepting AO? Thanks in advance!

It took a while to find it also, and came down to searching for the correct keyword "miLabel". I'd also tried id Inclexcl, Object label id, mib_amb, and god knows what else. The Maya documentation is a little less than clear on the subject of Ambient Occlusion. Thanks very much for valuable contribution to teh Internets! Man, I was looking for a solution everywhere!

I know, sounds simple enough, but for some reason setting an miLabel attribute and adjusting the mi_amb_occlusion's Id* attributes has no effect. Would you please post a simple scene file which does this? Thanks!! .xX I'm having some trouble getting this working.
