How to use
Simply add the “Simple Screen Space Ambient Occlusion” to any camera you wish to
use the efect.

Parameters
•

Axis pattern: Texture used for the interleaving pattern. Should be a 3x3
texture, you can re-generate the included one using SimpleSSAO->Generate
Axis Pattern Texture, or modify AxisPatternGenerator.cs to create a custom
one.

•

Quality: infuences amount of samples taken by the occlusion shader. Higher
quality settings take more samples, and will look better but perform worse.

•

Radius: maximum reach of the efect in world space units.

•

Radius range: Minimum/maximum radius in pixels. Since the radius is scaled by
pixel depth, pixels further away from the camera might get a very small radius.
This parameters clamps the radius so that it doesn´t get too small or too big.

•

Occlusion Bias: Width of the occlusion cone considered by each pixel. Set it
higher to reduce self-occlusion.

•

Occlusion Ofset: Amount of base occlusion. Increasing its value will cause fat
surfaces to turn grey, occlusion will be subtracted from corners and added to
crevices, resulting in increased contrast.

•

Occlusion Exponent: Controls the shape of the occlusion curve. A value of 1
means linear occlusion, a value of 2 quadratic occlusion, and so on.

•

Occlusion Intensity: Modulates the amount of occlusion contributed by each
pixel.

•

Luminance modulation: Amount of occlusion removed from high-luminance
areas. This can help reduce AO in areas directly hit by light, which avoids
washed out colors and keeps AO to shadowed areas only.

•

Bleeding Intensity: Modulates the amount of color bleeding.

•

Downsampling: amount of dowsampling performed when calculating AO and
color bleeding. A value of 1 means full screen size, 2 means half-screen
resolution, 4 a quater-screen resolution. Higher values will increase
performance and decrease quality.

•

Blur: on/of blur toggle, useful for visualizing raw unfltered output.

•

Blur Depth Threshold: minimum depth diference between blurred fragments.

•

Blur Normal Threshold: minimum normal diference between blurred
fragments.

•

Visualization: Allows you to visualize the occlusion or bleeding bufers only.
Useful when fne-tuning efect parameters.
