Configuring SSAO

SSAO darkens small creases and corners where surfaces block ambient light.

Radius controls contributing geometry. Intensity controls corner darkness. Bias and samples reduce artifacts.

Steps​

  1. Select the POST PROCESSING object in the Objects panel.

Optional: Add the SSAO component​

Use this section only if the SSAO component is not already listed in the Properties panel. If it is already present, skip the actions in this section and continue with the main tutorial below.

  • Radius: How far geometry contributes.
  • Intensity: Occlusion darkness.
  • Bias: Reduces surface artifacts.
  • Samples: Improves quality.
  1. SSAO settings are visible in Properties.
