AMBIENT OCCLUSION
MXAO simulates the diffuse shadowing caused by the occlusion of ambient lighting. it creates results on par with current-gen industry standard implementations and can vastly improve the realism and depth perception in games. Even though many older games already contain SSAO variants, swapping them out for MXAO is very simple and beneficial.
Why MXAO?
Latest technology
MXAO is built with and improves upon the latest publications. Its novel variant of visibility bitmasking makes MXAO completely physically correct and compatible with all games, even older games that use DirectX 9.
Superior performance
MXAO’s scalable design gives you the control to decide when and where you want to crank up performance or max out image quality. At any point, it will deliver more bang for the buck than any other SSAO algorithm.
Stability
MXAO is designed to integrate well into game scenes and minimize graphical artifacts like temporal flickering, noise or ghosting. If you just want a set-and-forget effect, MXAO is for you.
