An ambient occlusion map is similar to a lightmap, but shouldn’t be confused with one. AO Maps are much more subtle than a lighting map and are actually usedas wellas lighting information at render time, not instead of. The way its output works technically does not cast shadows like a...
In most 3D applications, ambient occlusion is calculated using a special ambient occlusion shader that is applied to your geometry. Since ambient occlusion is simulated by casting out rays to sample nearby geometry, any object with a transparency map applied to it won’t get calculated. That’s...
Ambient occlusion(ambient shadows) Normalinformation (surface details variations stored as vector directions) Direction(where is up or down, left or right, etc) Curvature(edges and cavities of the geometry) Position(relative position of the geometry inside a normalized cube) ...
This can be used to add anambient occlusion type, self-shadowing effect to sections of your model, without having to make an actual AO map. Alternatively, if you use a lighter shade on your falloff maps it can give more of a backlit type of look. Examples of how different type of fal...
Ambient Occlusion (AO using Eevee) Height (uses Eevee's mist pas making the BW map limited to 256 possible values per pixel, however the output is linear like its supposed to) Transparency (makes the world background black & anything obscuring it white) ...

Screen Space Ambient Occlusion Ambient Occlusion is a shading and rendering technique used to approximate how exposed each point in a scene is to ambient lighting. It darkens creases, holes, intersections and surfaces that are close to each other. In real life, these areas tend to block or oc...
Ambient occlusion & Shading for foliage brushes Foliage now receives shadows. (such as from itself, i.e. other branches nearby, overlapping leaves, etc...) What you see is what you get with foliage painting now. There is no more preview phase followed by final phase. ...
while all gaze estimation methods aim to map eye features to gaze direction, they differ in how the transformation is modeled. traditional algorithms are based on theoretical and empirical insights and use hand-crafted rules written in code. these typically require only small amounts of calibration...
ORM (Occlusion, Roughness, Metallic) maps:An ORM map is a packed texture that combines the Ambient occlusion, Roughness, and Metallic maps into a single image file, with each map occupying one of the RGB channels (Red, Green, and Blue). This is particularly useful in game development to ...
