typically multiply assuming your AO isn't using color

Follow up question:

I have a Ao pass which seems to affet the hole scene, but i only selected AO in the color channel of the floor material?

If i exclude the opbjekt the AO is sensless to use it or am I wrong.

the AO pass is a global ambient occlusion pass it cares not for your per material shaders, it looks at your render settings AO settings.

if you want AO from a specific material you need to use a material pass.
