Ambient Occlusion is now available in the Premium version of the Shaderfarm Library! This shader increases realism by creating soft,natural shadows. It works great on the edges and gaps of objects such as doors, walls, handles, and gives depth for characters and environments. Powerful Ambient Occlusion is also critical for rendering car interiors and objects with many details... Shaderfarm Ambient Occlusion is optimized to be fast enough for real-time so you preserve interactivity and other real-time effects!
