Fields

blurSharpness

Modify the non-temporal blur to change how sharp features are preserved. Lower values leads to blurrier/softer results, higher values gets a sharper result, but with the risk of noise.

Declaration
public ClampedFloatParameter blurSharpness
Field Value
Type Description
ClampedFloatParameter

directLightingStrength

Controls how much the ambient occlusion affects direct lighting.

Declaration
public ClampedFloatParameter directLightingStrength
Field Value
Type Description
ClampedFloatParameter

ghostingReduction

Moving this factor closer to 0 will increase the amount of accepted samples during temporal accumulation, increasing the ghosting, but reducing the temporal noise.

Declaration
public ClampedFloatParameter ghostingReduction
Field Value
Type Description
ClampedFloatParameter

intensity

Controls the strength of the ambient occlusion effect. Increase this value to produce darker areas.

Declaration
public ClampedFloatParameter intensity
Field Value
Type Description
ClampedFloatParameter

layerMask

Defines the layers that ray traced ambient occlusion should include.

Declaration
public LayerMaskParameter layerMask
Field Value
Type Description
LayerMaskParameter

radius

Sampling radius. Bigger the radius, wider AO will be achieved, risking to lose fine details and increasing cost of the effect due to increasing cache misses.

Declaration
public ClampedFloatParameter radius
Field Value
Type Description
ClampedFloatParameter

rayTracing

Enable ray traced ambient occlusion.

Declaration
public BoolParameter rayTracing
Field Value
Type Description
BoolParameter

spatialBilateralAggressiveness

Moving this factor closer to 0 will increase the amount of accepted samples during temporal accumulation, increasing the ghosting, but reducing the temporal noise.

Declaration
public ClampedFloatParameter spatialBilateralAggressiveness
Field Value
Type Description
ClampedFloatParameter

temporalAccumulation

Whether the results are accumulated over time or not. This can get higher quality results at a cheaper cost, but it can lead to temporal artifacts such as ghosting.

Declaration
public BoolParameter temporalAccumulation
Field Value
Type Description
BoolParameter

Properties

bilateralUpsample

This upsample method preserves sharp edges better, however may result in visible aliasing and it is slightly more expensive.

Declaration
public bool bilateralUpsample { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Boolean

denoise

Defines if the ray traced ambient occlusion should be denoised.

Declaration
public bool denoise { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Boolean

denoiserRadius

Controls the radius of the ray traced ambient occlusion denoiser.

Declaration
public float denoiserRadius { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

directionCount

Number of directions searched for occlusion at each each pixel when temporal accumulation is disabled.

Declaration
public int directionCount { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32

fullResolution

If this option is set to true, the effect runs at full resolution. This will increases quality, but also decreases performance significantly.

Declaration
public bool fullResolution { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Boolean

maximumRadiusInPixels

This field imposes a maximum radius in pixels that will be considered. It is very important to keep this as tight as possible to preserve good performance. Note that the pixel value specified for this field is the value used for 1080p when not running the effect at full resolution, it will be scaled accordingly for other resolutions.

Declaration
public int maximumRadiusInPixels { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32

rayLength

Controls the length of ray traced ambient occlusion rays.

Declaration
public float rayLength { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Single

sampleCount

Number of samples for evaluating the effect.

Declaration
public int sampleCount { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32

stepCount

Number of steps to take along one signed direction during horizon search (this is the number of steps in positive and negative direction). Increasing the value can lead to detection of finer details, but is not a guarantee of higher quality otherwise. Also note that increasing this value will lead to higher cost.

Declaration
public int stepCount { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Int32
