Did I say I was talking about AO? AO = AO, Shadows = Shadows. I don't know why you would read "shadows" and interpret it as "AO".
Because I know you're good with CG. In my mind, directional shadows on IBL is nonsense.
So, I did not even begin to imagine you'd ever make the mistake of using a directional shadow system on an omnidirectional light source. That makes no sense. So I didn't see why you'd even bring it up, when discussing how IBL works. it wasn't relevant to even discuss directional shadows on IBL, when the IBL is used for ambient lighting, which is 99.99% of the time.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
