Overview

The Occlusion distribution samples an ambient occlusion map of the terrain for masking crevices or mountain ridges.


Parameters

  • Random Samples
    Uses random samples instead of fixed steps. Can improve performance but causes grain on lower values.


  • Horizontal Steps
    The number of horizontal steps in the occlusion computation.


  • Vertical Steps
    The number of vertical steps in the occlusion computation.


  • Steps
    Multiplier for the overall steps.


  • Grain
    Controls the amount of grain in the final mask.


  • Occlusion Range
    Allows you to clamp the result of the ao calculation.


  • Radius
    The sampling radius of the ao algorithm. Smaller values capture smaller scale details, while larger values result in the detection of large scale terrain features.


  • Flatten
    Improves detection of detail in flat areas.
