Overview

Summary

Ambient Occlusion is a post-processing effect that approximates crevice shadows in real time, darkening creases, holes, intersections, and surfaces that are close to each other. This gives a more realistic appearance to parts of objects  where ambient light is blocked out or occluded. In this tutorial you'll learn how to add Ambient Occlusion to your Post Processing Stack and configure it for your scene.
