What Is Ambient Occlusion?

1.	What Is Ambient Occlusion?
Answer» Ambient OCCLUSION is related to bright the light to shine on specific surfaces. AO is based on the environment of the surface. The calculation is done by CASTING rays in each and every DIRECTION from the surface. The brightness is increased on the surface by focusing the rays from the BACKGROUND. Points with little geometry will appear light on the VISIBLE hemisphere.
