Visuals

This page describes parameters under the "Visuals" foldout that are shared between all AO modes.

Fadeout

Defines the distance (in meters) at which the occlusion effect fades out. Setting this value to 0 disabled fadeout completely, letting AO be visible at any distance.

Performance impact: insignificant

Fadeout 10

Fadeout 50

Fadeout 200

Intensity

Guides the final intensity of the ambient occlusion, higher values result in darker ambient occlusion.

• For HDRP this corresponds to the Intensity of the SSAO override.

• For URP this corresponds to the Intensity of the SSAO renderer feature.

Performance impact: none

Intensity 1 [GTAO]

Intensity 3 [GTAO]

Direct Lighting Occlusion

Defines how visible the effect is in areas exposed to direct lighting. It's recommended to use 0 for maximum physical accuracy.

• For HDRP this corresponds to the Direct Lighting Strength of the SSAO override.

• For URP this corresponds to the Direct Lighting Strength of the SSAO renderer feature.

Performance impact: none

Direct Lighting Occlusion 0 [RTAO]

Direct Lighting Occlusion 1 [RTAO]

Exclude Receiving

Excludes objects from receiving AO on a per-layer basis via the Rendering Layer Mask.

Exclude Receiving Intensity 1.0

Exclude Receiving Intensity 0.5

Exclude Receiving Intensity 0

Performance impact: small
