-====== Ambient Occlusion Maps ====== 
-The Ambient Occlusion maps within Knald are generated one the fly from the Normal & Height Maps provided by The Integrator. They are adjustable in real time and produce extremely high quality and clean results that rival baked AO at 600+ rays.

-===== The Ambient Occlusion Group'​s Settings ===== 
- 
-**AO Scale:** The strength of the image based AO, irrespective of the Global Intensity slider. 
- 
-**Mesh AO:** This check box is a toggle to enable and disable Low Poly Ambient Occlusion via an imported mesh. 
- 
-**Opacity:​** The level of opacity used when mixing the Low Poly Ambient Occlusion with the image based Ambient Occlusion. 
- 
-**Rays:** This slider is used to determine the number of samples in a discrete evaluation of the integral across the half sphere for diffuse outgoing radiance with a constant radiance field with a minimum of 256 and maximum of 8192 rays being available. 
-  * A higher number or rays will increase the quality of the Mesh Ambient Occlusion at the cost of speed. 
-  * We do not recommend going below a value of 512 rays as this can cause banding to appear in the map. 
-  * A value of 1024-2048 or above should be perfect for production. 
- 
-**Bias:** A bias value based upon mesh density. A value of 10 should be good in most situations.
