3D Modeling Showreel - Ambient Occlusion Necessary?

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone!

I have a question about my showreel. And as the title states, I'm just wondering if it's necessary to show ambient Occlusion in my demo reel? I have a high detailed tank model and It has a lot of detailed textures also (Created in substance painter) that I've shown. It's like a turnaround and using wipe transitions it goes from Textures, Basic, and then Wireframe. I was just wondering if I should replace the basic part with Ambient Occlusion? or add it in between or if it's even necessary to display as the render times for my project is quite long.

Thanks in advance!
