How to turn off SSAO?

03-21-10, 01:08 AM

Does anyone know how to turn the SSAO/HBAO type effect off while keeping dynamic shadows? it looks bloody terrible and stays still while crew or boats pass through it, omg it is implemented in a bad way

for anyone wondering what it is, it's the static shadow effects - not the actual shadows but the areas of shaded dots as seen on the side of the uboat etc..

Yeah, I'd noticed that. Ended up turning off Shadows to help improve performance all around, but do miss them.

SSAO = self shadowing ambient occlusion?

Yes that is correct, I'd like to disable that but keep the dynamic shadows if possible.
