I was actually thinking if it's the 2 sided foliage shader that cancels a lot of the AO ?

Somehow this makes me feel tweaking 6x the same slider where I always end up with either too little AO or too much. For now I find it very tricky to get that sweet spot.
Here's some additional tests (last one being the control with VXAO off):

"CTD when setting VXGI range to 0 in the console" I don`t know what CTD is.. can you explain please?. I made a quick search and did not found anything...
I'm Crashing the editor when I set the range to 0.

What sort of FPS you running on those scenes?Here's with a stock Speedtree straight from their shop. In the end I gave up. Again, there are 6 or so sliders but somehow it feels like they all end up doing the same. With SVOTI I don't have this experience at all. It's very simple to get a really good baseline. Wish I could say the same for VXAO. It's not bad. Just not really good either. For green stuff. In a house it's awesome.
Prolly my bad though. With proper materials, optimized trees and what not, I bet you can make it look just ace.Last edited by Chesire; 03-24-2016, 07:42 AM.

Have you try a comparison of SVOTI with VXGI in a indoor space to see how both deals with light bouncing around and the shadows that comes from indirect lighting??Last edited by Yolao; 03-24-2016, 09:19 AM.

Edit: (If VXAO works with HBAO+) ?

It's actually quite interesting. Right of the bat you could argue that VXGI should always beat VXAO because it actually includes the GI but I'm not so sure where it concerns a RealTime environment.
To be honest, and this might come across a very bald statement, but how often do you REALLY notice good GI? I can only speak for myself but I'm always way more drawn to good quality shadowing
and occlusion. Anyways, more on this subject later.

Originally posted by Maximum-Dev View PostOther problem I think is it's very hard to maintain a good amount of AO on models of various scales. For instance the AO on your trees looks kinda acceptable but the grass is now very flat. Maybe adding some HBAO+ would help there. But might result in overly dark AO in some spots.
Edit: (If VXAO works with HBAO+) ?
SSAO not so much. It's got it's uses but most of that is already filed by VXAO. SSDO would be a very nice middle filler here but alas. We know where to find that one.
From my limited playing with things right now I'd say the one major limiter on good quality VXAO/VXGI in larger outdoor scenes (no not talking 8x8km maps here)
is that you just run out of voxels way too quickly and boosting them to them max (mapsize 256) is such a performance killer that one might wonder why that mapsize
is accessible in the first place. Guess it could come in handy with output from cinematics. For RT it's unusable.
In the latest version we have this VXGI anchor gizmo introduced. It basically shifts the point of origin for Voxelization LOD0. I'm very much hoping NVIDIA will
elaborate on this system. Ideally I want to be able to draw or set a Voxel Volume(s) where I can get more consitent/stable lighting over longer range.
Not sure if that's doable at all. Probably very tricky indeed.

Actually, if you would have the perfect global illumination the occlusion would be automatically be part of it. We do ambient occlusion because we can't afford to do it the physically correct way through global illumination, it would be just too expensive.
