Hello
I am currently working under SW2016. For a certain project I made a motion animation video ("Motion Study" environment) but it is impossible for me to generate this video with the ambient occlusion effect.
I don't have Photoview, is it normal that it's impossible for me to have the ambient occlusion in my video?
Thank you in advance.
I think you need to activate "realview graph" before activating ambient occlusion.
Thank you for your answer. However, the relaview graphics option is already enabled and the effect appears in the video but the ambient occlusion does not.
Hello
Is ambient occlusion available as a "fixed" visual?
Otherwise the graphics card may be incompatible with the use of ambient occlusion?
What model is it?
Hello
There are bugs reported and still open on this subject
SPR 670184: Ambient occlusion is not shown in saved AVI when animation has camera keys (instead of view keys)
SPR 749800: In Motion Studies, ambient occlusion and full scene anti alias are ignored when saving to AVI.
You may be in this use case

Thank you all, I didn't expect so many answers in such a short time!
Yes, ambient occlusion is activated in fixed visual and works very well. I think it doesn't come from the graphics card.
I have seen these different posts but I have not seen any positive responses to the proposed solutions...
Do you have or know someone who has ever successfully recorded a video with ambient occlusion? I called my software distributor and he told me that it was not possible but I highly doubt his answer given that with Photoview the option appears in the video output settings (seen on the internet).
Hello
This doesn't surprise me because the ambient occlusion only works in fixed mode, when you rotate the model, the occlusion doesn't work so in video it seems logical to me.
After Photoview manages it, that's the goal anyway.

I know what you mean but for all that, when SW2016 creates a video file it only takes a succession of images (so still) that it assembles afterwards. I've also used Inventor before and that's what it does: with each image, it creates the realistic look it wants, and then it stitches them all together afterwards.
Hello
I'm on SW 2016 SP4 and it works
I put a screenshot of my capture settings (which seem to me to be the default ones)
Re
@t.Legagneux is right, it also works for me.

@t.legagneux: I see on your screenshot that you have settings that I don't have, do you have Photoview?
Re
I have the same settings without photoview.
Which SP are you in 2016?
@+
I have Photoview but I don't use it for my animations.
I checked on old animations that I made with SW 2015 and there is indeed the ambient occlusion.
So I'm not sure it's a problem with the software version
I have SP4.
Finally I finally succeeded, for my part the occlusion appears in the video only if in personal proportions I use the "active window" option. The other settings disable ambient occlusion!
