Ambient Occlusion

The Ambient Occlusion effect enhances depth and realism by simulating soft contact shadows in areas where surfaces are close to each other, such as corners, creases, and intersections.

This effect has a medium impact on performance. It is recommended to enable it only when necessary or when the scene is highly optimized.

Settings:

• Intensity – controls the strength of the shadow effect. Higher values create darker and more pronounced ambient shadows.

• Radius – determines how far the effect extends from the contact areas. A higher radius results in broader, softer shadows, while a lower radius keeps shadows tighter and more defined.

For a more realistic result and better performance, we recommend baking AO.. Learn more here: Ambient occlusion (texture)
