DistanceFieldAoAsset

Remarks

[19](../../../docs/plan/19-lighting-and-global-illumination.md) § L1's consumer. GlobalDistanceField composites the clipmap and this reads it — and ⚠ the two have to name the same shader, because that name is the compose-slot prefix one writes its bindings under and the other reads them from. They are separate strings on purpose: a frame may march a field a different node composited, or none at all.

Source left alone answers "nothing is near" — fully open, fully lit — which is the honest default for a project with no clipmap, and is why this node is safe to leave in a document that a given build has no field for.

Fields and properties (9)

• public string Name

  The node's name, for debug groups and for a human reading the file.

• public bool Enabled

  Whether the node runs.

• public string Depth

  The depth it reconstructs world positions from.

• public string Normals

  The normals it orients the occlusion integral by.

• public string Output

  The name the result is published under.

• public PixelFormat Format

  The format of the target it declares.

• public string Source

  The shader behind the field slot — what the march actually reads.

• public bool SunShadow

  Whether to trace a sun shadow alongside the occlusion.

• public string View

  The view whose camera unprojects the depth, or empty for a host that feeds the matrix.
