AO Map Opacity Guide

A relatively new livery technique, AO or Ambient Occlusion Maps are perfect for properly showing shadows within the game.

Alongside the Paint Overlay Pack and Livery Rotation Guide, this list of AO Map Opacity values has been tuned very specifically to get an exact hex color on the primary parts of the cars.

 

Personally, when I am planning a livery with a white base, I start with the hex code #EEEEEE as the base color instead of #FFFFFF. After setting these AO Map Opacity Values, the vehicle becomes #CCCCCC.

These values vary depending on which specific AO Map you use. For the exact look that I achieve, download the AO Map and Templates file linked.
