• Key Concepts: 
  Ambient occlusion is a rendering technique used in SAP Visual Enterprise (CA-VE) to create realistic lighting and shadows. It simulates the way light is blocked by objects in a 3D environment, creating realistic shadows and highlights. Ambient occlusion is used to create more realistic images and animations in SAP Visual Enterprise.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP Visual Enterprise, ambient occlusion can be enabled or disabled in the Render Settings window. To enable ambient occlusion, select the “Enable Ambient Occlusion” checkbox. To disable ambient occlusion, uncheck the box. Once enabled, the ambient occlusion settings can be adjusted to create different lighting effects.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using ambient occlusion, it is important to adjust the settings to get the desired effect. For example, increasing the “Ambient Occlusion Radius” will increase the amount of shadowing and highlights in the scene. Increasing the “Ambient Occlusion Intensity” will increase the darkness of the shadows and highlights.
