Tutorial: Ambient Occlusion on Dungeon Siege III

[FelipeRRM]

Hey guys, I spent a long time trying to find a nVidia profile that would allow Ambient Occlusion on Dungeon Siege III and I finally found it, and just wanted to share it with you. Some profiles would apply the AO algorithm, but they were adding a white glow to the corners intead of a black one, and it was very very funny, like an "inverse" AO.
This is done through nVidia Inspector!

Comparison:

AO Off - http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/54...2575ABAA79984/

AO On - http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/54...6530FA894C140/


And the funny bug I mentioned, the white glow (this happens when you select some profiles, like Diablo III, Left 4 Dead and Half Life 2):

tbh with ya...AO in the game from what I can tell is completely bugged how you have it.

Why? I can see shadows and what not now from that stuff threw textures and other things like fog when im not sposed to...so 1 way or another your method is still pretty flawed...imho it basecally ruins the atmosphere...

That's how AO is applied through drivers in every game. You'll always see it through the fog, but I like it, and in caves it adds a lot to the game!
