<!--'''Ambient Occlusion (AO)''' is a type of [[lighting]] technique applied in-game to create more realistic lighting. AO simulates soft shadows created by two surfaces that are close together. Ambient occlusion in games is normally accomplished through '''[[Wikipedia:Screen Space Ambient Occlusion|Screen Space Ambient Occlusion]]''', which is a simplified way to fake realistic AO with shaders in a process fast enough for real-time rendering. SSAO is a [[DirectX]] 9.0c shader, so it will only be available on fairly modern video cards.--> | <!--'''Ambient Occlusion (AO)''' is a type of [[lighting]] technique applied in-game to create more realistic lighting.
