AmbientOcclusionMethod enum Rendering

Which screen-space occlusion estimator AmbientOcclusionSettings runs.

Values

obscurance → const AmbientOcclusionMethod

Normalized angular obscurance averaged over a spiral sampling disk, with a four-neighbour detail term. The cheapest estimate and the default. Tuned by AmbientOcclusionSettings.sampleCount, AmbientOcclusionSettings.bias, AmbientOcclusionSettings.horizonAngle, and AmbientOcclusionSettings.detail.

The sampling follows McGuire et al., "Scalable Ambient Obscurance" (2012), https://research.nvidia.com/publication/scalable-ambient-obscurance.

groundTruth → const AmbientOcclusionMethod

Horizon-based visibility integrated over hemisphere slices, matching the cosine-weighted reference that ray-traced occlusion converges to. Reads more coherent contact shadowing than obscurance at similar cost, and composes correctly with image-based lighting. Tuned by AmbientOcclusionSettings.sliceCount, AmbientOcclusionSettings.stepsPerSlice, AmbientOcclusionSettings.visibilityBitmask, AmbientOcclusionSettings.thickness, and AmbientOcclusionSettings.thicknessHeuristic.

The integration follows Jimenez et al., "Practical Realtime Strategies for Accurate Indirect Occlusion" (2016); the optional visibility bitmask follows Therrien et al., "Screen Space Indirect Lighting with Visibility Bitmask" (2023).
