GTAO Lite

✨ GTAO Lite: Next-Generation Ambient Occlusion for URP ✨

GTAO Lite brings cutting-edge, high-quality screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) to your Universal Render Pipeline (URP) projects.

Designed for creators who demand both stunning visuals and top-tier performance, GTAO Lite is the perfect solution for elevating the realism and depth of your scenes.

GTAO generally produces more visually appealing results compared to standard techniques such as SSAO or HBAO.

🎮 Who Is It For?

• Game developers seeking realistic lighting and shadowing
• Simulation, adventure, exploration, and museum-style games
• Projects where visual immersion and subtle detail matter
• Teams who want easy integration and flexible customization

🛠️ Key Features

Superior Quality:

GTAO Lite simulates realistic ambient shadowing and contact shadows, producing richer, more immersive scenes than standard SSAO.

Performance Optimized:

Carefully engineered for minimal frame rate impact—even in large, complex scenes or on lower-end hardware.

Flexible Integration:

Supports all URP rendering paths: Forward, Forward+, Deferred, and Deferred+.

Modern Workflow:

Compatible with both RenderGraph and traditional ScriptableRenderPass.

All parameters are exposed via Unity’s Volume system for real-time tuning.

Customizable:

Tweak AO radius, sample count, blur strength, and more to match your project’s needs.

Debug modes let you visualize raw and blurred AO for easy fine-tuning.

🔧 Easy Setup

1. Add the GTAOLiteRendererFeature to your URP Renderer.
2. Create a Volume in your scene and add the GTAOLiteVolumeComponent override.
3. Adjust parameters in the Inspector to achieve your desired look.

No code required—just drag, drop, and tweak!

🎨 Customizable for Any Genre

Whether you’re building a realistic archaeological simulation, a stylized adventure, or a visually rich exploration game, GTAO Lite adapts to your needs.

All settings can be adjusted in real time, making it easy to balance quality and performance for any platform.

⚡ Performance Tips

• For best results on lower-end hardware, reduce the DownScale value.
• Adjust AO and blur sample counts to balance quality and speed.
• All calculations are optimized for URP’s modern rendering pipeline.

🚫 Limitations
