Brecht's easter egg surprise: Modernizing shading and rendering

Here is a simple test file + some renders to explain what I mean.

1. No AO at all (no World AO, no Simplify panel)

2. World AO, settings are Factor=0.1 Distance=10cm

I’d expect the bounce AO feature would take this setting (World AO) and skip bounces from there, to make it less fake-ish.

But never worked like that, here it’s a render with Simplify panel enabled:

3. AO bounce = 1 (0 is disabled)

4. AO bounce = 2

5. AO bounce = 3

6. AO bounce = 4

…so… what am i missing? It seems it always uses the AO with a Factor of 1.00, which is unusable and incredibly high, and ignores the Factor set by the user in the World panel.

It’s a feature with great potential but unusable at the moment IMHO.

Hi, set your DISTANCE to like 3m or 4m!
