Ambient Occlusion adjustment?

[dc0001]

Is there any way to dial down the Ambient Occlusion beyond Medium and High, short of turning it off? The Medium effect produces far too much effect, and the effect only multiplies in rendered screenshots:

Unfortunately, when I turn it off I lose a lot of detail.

Have you thought about doing the final rendering in 3DS Max or something like Twinmotion for a lot more control?

I do not yet own (or know) TwinMotion but from what I can tell, it doesn't support importing directly from InfraWorks. I started this project in Civil 3D. Do I need to go back and take a different path through 3DS Max or Revit in order to use TwinMotion?

You can export the Infraworks model to an FBX file format. Twinmotion can import FBX files.

Thanks for the advice, I will give it a shot.

Just to add to the FBX export from Infraworks. Sometimes, the aerial images will disconnect from the tile. You'll need to remap the aerial image to the tile. It doesn't happen all the time.

You weren't kidding, that makes a huge difference. The aerial image came in fine. Thanks for the excellent suggestion!
