This is my implementation of The Alchemy Screen-space Ambient Obscurane Algorithm from nVidia. I was pretty happy with the results and definitely consider this as one of the best indirect illumination techniques that I've encountered so far. I've also expanded my deferred shading framework to now include Physically-Based Rendering (PBR).
- Full configurable SSAO as described in original Alchemy paper and further enhanced by Morgan McGuire's Scalable Ambient Occlusion (SAO) algorithm
- Smooth AO produced by two bilateral filter passes, one horizontal and one vertical done in a compute shader. Each pass uses 8 taps (8x8=64 samples) with Gaussian weights modulated by linear depth difference.
- Models are rendered using PBR materials (metalic, stone, plastic, etc)
