I'd love to see this done for Carrara. In a nutshell it's a light that provides ambient occlusion with falloff and selective application to scene objects (i.e. like Carrara lights with the inclusion/exclusion) plus some other stuff.

    SHADERS PLUS allows you to include/exclude the ambient light on a shader-basis. (see pic)

    Not sure about the occlusion falloff, I kinda thought occlusion had a falloff naturally based on how far it is from the corners...

    Thanks for pointing out this plug in. I don't have this.

    Presumably we are talking AO here without the usual extra hit in rendering time?

    @holly I'd forgotten about that plugin. In fact I was going to shop for some of those but the Carrara refund kerfuffle ate a big chunk of my budget, so...

    @scifi There is a speed benefit but it's more than that. More control.
