[Shader] Replace Ambient Occlusion (MXAO)

[Abenoki]

So I came across this replacement for AO called MXAO made by Marty McFly (all credits to him and his great work i just tweaked settings)

http://reshade.me/forum/shader-presentation/1874-marty-mcfly-s-ambient-obscurance-mxao-with-il

as much as I love DE the AO in warframe is kinda messy atm :3

I downloaded it and tweaked it the best I could for warframe so that it would improve and not muddy the visuals

 

Without MXAO

 

With MXAO

 

 

Its easier to see in game so download and try it yourself

download is here

http://www.mediafire.com/download/zyg1obg2w3br7nv/MMWaframeAO.zip

 

just copy the contents of the folder to the directory that the warframe.exe is stored, scroll lock button enables and disables it

 

NOTE THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH OTHER SHADERS, IT IS STAND ALONE AND IF YOU ARE USING SWEETFX YOU CANNOT COMBINED THEM

 

enjoy the improved AO in your warframe, for more info on how it works visits the link above, but do not ask him to trouble shoot it in warframe for you, he did not make it for this game and it isnt his problem.

If you come up with better looking settings feel free to let me and others know

it doesnt lighten the image at all so im not sure what youre seeing in that regard

 

I said its easier to see in game than screen shot, ill post debug image (when servers back) or you could full screen them and swap between to see

 

if you still cant see it after that then idk what to tell you XP

Here is a debug image to help you see whats happening

the darker areas are getting AO (darker the grey/black the more AO), while the lighter ones arent/less 

look at the difference in the darker areas in the images in OP

 

I.E look at the circle thing on the wall near the console or the tubes above the orbiter compartment 

 

id show a debug without but its part of the shader and just shows a white image lol
