Is it possible to use SSAO in Eevee without world lighting?

Blender Asked by Enthymeme on November 19, 2021

I’d love to use SSAO in eevee to just add a little depth to my scene, but I’ve created a studio-esque lighting set up, and as such need to keep the world lighting dark, only lighting my scene with lights.

Is there a way to force AO in a dark scene? It seems like AO in eevee only works when the world is emitting light. Is there a workaround for this?

I faced a similar problem, ended up just plugging in the AO into the color input of Background. For your case the setup could've been a little trickier, such as using Mix/Add nodes, etc.

If you only need it in the final render, you can apply it in the compositor:

enter image description here

  1. Enable the Ambient Occlusion pass in Properties > Render Layers > Passes.
  2. Use a Mix node to multiply it with the render.
