bBackgroundAOEnable[edit | edit source]

bBackgroundAOEnable toggles using HBAO+ on the background part of the image. It is recommended to remain enabled (1).

Default is 1.

bBackgroundAOEnable=(0,1)

bBlurEnable[edit | edit source]

bBlurEnable toggles blurring on the background related to HBAO+. This blurring is actually quite extensive, and recommended to be disabled (set to 0).

Default is 1. Recommended is 0.

bBlurEnable=(0,1)

bBlurSharpnessProfileEnable[edit | edit source]

bBlurSharpnessProfileEnable toggles some sharpness related to HBAO+ that seems to give a miniscule amount of extra depth to the shadows, mostly to combat the blur that is added with bBlurEnable. It is recommended to leave this disabled (0) and simply turn the blurring off (bBlurEnable=0).

Default is 0.

bBlurSharpnessProfileEnable=(0,1)

bDepthThresholdEnable[edit | edit source]

bDepthThresholdEnable toggle a depth threshold on HBAO+. If enabled, HBAO+ will only be applied intensively to the distance that fDepthThresholdMaxViewDepth is set. It also enables some relative sharpening according to fDepthThresholdSharpness. It is recommended to be disabled (0).

Default is 0.

bDepthThresholdEnable=(0,1)

bEnable[edit | edit source]

bEnable toggles the use of NVIDIA Horizon-Based Ambient Occlusion Plus (HBAO+) technology.

Dependent upon:

  • bSAOEnable=1 under [Display]

Default is 0.

bEnable=(0,1)

fBackgroundAOViewDepth[edit | edit source]

fBackgroundAOViewDepth sets the background HBAO+ view depth. The farther this is, the less shadowing there tends to be. The shorter this is, the less depth there tends to be.

Dependent upon:

  • bBackgroundAOEnable=1

Default is 750.0000.

fBackgroundAOViewDepth=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fBias[edit | edit source]

fBias sets the HBAO+ bias.

Default is 0.1000.

fBias=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fBlurSharpness[edit | edit source]

fBlurSharpness sets the amount of sharpening to apply on top of the the HBAO+ blur. Just disable the blur (bBlurEnable=0) so you do not need to sharpen the image.

Default is 16.0000.

fBlurSharpness=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fBlurSharpnessProfileBackgroundViewDepth[edit | edit source]

fBlurSharpnessProfileBackgroundViewDepth sets the background view depth of the HBAO+ blur-sharpening routine. Just disable the blur (bBlurEnable=0) so you do not need to sharpen the image.

Default is 1.0000.

fBlurSharpnessProfileBackgroundViewDepth=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundSharpnessScale[edit | edit source]

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundSharpnessScale sets the sharpness scale on the foreground of the HBAO+ blur-sharpening routine. Just disable the blur (bBlurEnable=0) so you do not need to sharpen the image.

Default is 4.0000.

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundSharpnessScale=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundViewDepth[edit | edit source]

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundViewDepth sets the foreground view depth of the HBAO+ blur-sharpening routine. Just disable the blur (bBlurEnable=0) so you do not need to sharpen the image.

Default is 0.0000.

fBlurSharpnessProfileForegroundViewDepth=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fCoarseAO[edit | edit source]

fCoarseAO sets the amount of coarse AO is applied in HBAO+.

Default is 1.0000.

fCoarseAO=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fDepthThresholdMaxViewDepth[edit | edit source]

fDepthThresholdMaxViewDepth sets the maximum view depth of HBAO+ if the depth threshold is enabled (bDepthThresholdEnable=1).

Dependent upon:

  • bDepthThresholdEnable=1

Default is 500.0000.

fDepthThresholdMaxViewDepth=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fDepthThresholdSharpness[edit | edit source]

fDepthThresholdSharpness sets the amount of sharpening to apply to extend the depth when the depth threshold is enabled (bDepthThresholdEnable=1).

Dependent upon:

  • bDepthThresholdEnable=1

Default is 100.0000.

fDepthThresholdSharpness=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fDetailAO[edit | edit source]

fDetailAO affects the detail of HBAO+. It appears increasing it improves the quality subtly.

Default is 0.6500.

fDetailAO=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fPowerExponent[edit | edit source]

fPowerExponent intensifies the HBAO+.

Default is 2.5000.

fPowerExponent=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

fRadius[edit | edit source]

fRadius adjusts the radius of HBAO+.

Default is 0.6500.

fRadius=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)

iBlurRadiusEnum[edit | edit source]

iBlurRadiusEnum affects the blurring when bBlurEnable is set to 1. It reduces the blur subtly if changed to 0.

Dependent upon:

  • bBlurEnable=1

Default is 1.

iBlurRadiusEnum=(0,1)

iDepthClampModeEnum[edit | edit source]

iDepthClampModeEnum affects depth in HBAO+. It seems to reduce depth if increased to 1. It is recommended to leave it at 0.

Default is 0.

iDepthClampModeEnum=(0,1)
