I saw an article in Gamedev.net about a shader for SSAO
A Simple and Practical Approach to SSAO - Graphics and GPU Programming - Tutorials - GameDev.net
I’m wondering if this can be used in the free version of Unity as the SSAO shader that comes with Unity requires Pro.
The code unfortunately, is in HLSL. I hardly know cg or GLSL in the first place, so I’m having trouble trying to convert it to cg.
