Abstract Dynamic Ambient Occlusion Using Homogeneous Subdivision

Ambient occlusion is a global illumination model that simulates the appearance of a scene as if it were surrounded by a uniform lighting sky-dome. Ambient occlusion has become more and more pervasive in the industry of real-time graphics. In our project we combine two methods of ambient occlusion to roughly approximate the occlusion while trading in for immense speed benefits. The ultimate goal is to provide visually appealing results without sacrificing interactivity.
