Screen space ambient occlusion - black curves

Unity Engine

Hello,
I am trying to get SSAO (obscurance) to work and I’m getting these weird black curves rendered over my camera:

It doesn’t matter which way I look, they still appear the same way. I don’t know what’s causing it.

HI. Can we get a copy of this scene to test with?

Of course, here is a link to the project containing this scene: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23910406/Unity/Sandbox_Play.zip
It has a camera with the SSAO effect already added.

Hi. Thanks for providing the project. I checked it and found that it’s using the Ambient Obscurance effect from the standard assets. Unfortunately, it has some precision problems and is not recommended to be used in a large scene.

I’d like to recommend you to try the new Ambient Occlusion effect in the Cinematic Image Effects.

I’ve tried it with the scene you provided. It seems to work quite well :slight_smile:

I’ve been using the new SSAO effect for a couple of months now. I’ve noticed it flickering a lot like I’m disabling and enabling it back a couple of times per second. Anyone else experiencing this?
