Applying a cavity map to mia_material

Hi! I have been trying to apply a cavity map to my mia_material, but i can't find where i should plug it in. Since the diffuse is the main color on that material. Any help would be extremely useful. Cheers!

Instead of "mia material" try mia material x or x passes.

Just open the cavity map in Photoshop, overlay it on top of your color, and map this image to your material.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

You can use a layered texture as well.
