HBAO addon

Update 4.5

-Adjustment of the AO for a much better general balance and to reduce artifacts and inconsistencies as much as possible

- close details still improve

This time I think it's the best I can do. I hope you like it, enjoy.

Update 4.4 final v2

-Return of the FOG effect for the SSS+ES version. (for real this time)

Update 4.3 final v2

- "packed incorrectly" through modmanager fix for SSS only version.

Update 4.2 Final V2

-Crash fix for SSS only version.

-Return of the FOG effect for the SSS+ES version.

I await your return hoping that this time everything works correctly.

Update 4.1 Final V2

-I forgot to separate the last version for single SSS users and ES users. So I made a pack with both versions that you can choose manually or via mod organizer. Let me know in the comments if everything is working properly.

Update 4 Final V2

-After many hours of research and testing I managed to reintroduce the occlusion between the player's weapon and nearby surfaces like in EFT game. (this also includes hands and arms).

I added 3 new screen so you can admire the result

-Ao of weapon upgrade

-General ao radius has been reduced for better visual fidelity and improved detail on medium and small objects.

- Grass ao has been reduced because it was way too strong in the previous version.

Update 3 Final :

-Adjusted the HBAO on the weapon for a much more natural result.

-General HBAO adjustment.

I think I got the best result possible with the current SSDO, so I don't think I'll release another update again unless the creator of "screen space shader" produces a new miracle regarding management AO in game.

I hope you enjoy this final version.

Update 2 :

-This mod is now compatible with ModOrganizer.

-A shading bug was present in the ES version has been fixed. Certain shadows due to ambient occlusion could appear buggy when the actor was stuck against certain obstacles, causing a large round halo.

-The AO parameters have been improved again to make the AO much smoother and less raw. This should correct most incorrect or exaggerated shading.

Tell me in the comments if this new version works correctly. This is the first time I've created a mod compatible with modmanager and I wanted to make sure everything works well for you.

Update 1 :

Add a patch for Enhanced Shader Users.

After more than 200 erasing of the shadercache and restarting the game, I finally arrived at a very satisfactory result allowing me to completely deactivate all forms of AO via Reshade and to recover the clarity of my menus and a 10% boost of performance compare to Reshade AO.

What does this mod change?

Well, it considerably modifies the ssao of the "screen space shader" mod. Instead of having a very wide occlusion radius on the environment and very tight on the weapons, this tweak does the opposite by tightening the environmental occlusion (which aims to make it more visible and detailed on the body/objects, The AO of the weapon has been widened and made more visible.
