Can someone explain to me what SSAO does? - bblaze - 09-08-2010
Not that much of a tech guy, so I don't quite understand what it does. I certainly don't see a difference going from 8 to 16 samples, except that it makes my game turn from exceedingly smooth to horrifyingly laggish.
Thanks in advance!
