Here is pretty nice tutorial on how to use texture>effects>ambient occlusion in the alpha channel of your material to get dirt in deeper places. in c4d. I often need to render polished bronze which has a similar effect. http://www.3dluvr.com/carles/Tut02en.htm Anyone know how to do this in indigo/ci...

Well would you look at that. the camera tag is indeed pretty helpfull! especially because I use the same motherscene file for most of my renders.
