UE4 4.24 SSGI + AO Implementation

[Haoris]

@Goldwaters

This thread is entertaining, but unfortunately as Rawalanche correctly pointed out, AO is being misunderstood on a conceptual level.
GI is a more accurate lighting model that makes AO unnecessary in your lighting stage

Seriously guys, tell me what’s more accurate :

SSGI Off, so SSAO is used:

Just checked SSGI in project settings, no other settings changed :

There’s no “better AO than SSAO” here, there’s no AO at all. Everything looks flat and parts in cascade shadow looks unlit
I don’t care about other engines/renderers, I’m using UE4 and SSGI looks bad.
