Contact shadow from depth

Ambient occlusion darkens the points where one surface folds into another, the corners and creases a soft light would not reach. Depth AO works that out from the depth map, so the picture gains the weight of contact shadow without a light source.

Every option, from the app

Generated from the registry the app publishes, so this list is whatever the current build actually ships — not a copy of it.

Depth DifferenceHorizon (HBAO)Curvature
  • Depth GradeWarm the near parts of the picture and cool the far, grading by distance.
  • Normal MapShow the direction each surface faces as colour, the way a 3D artist reads a bump.
  • Depth FogFog that thickens with distance, so the far end of the picture dissolves into it.
