This degree of accuracy extends across every scene in every environment in Rainbow Six Siege.Įven something as simple as foliage is difficult to render and shadow accurately, and here HBAO+ correctly shadows the deeper layers that aren't illuminated.Īcross a wider view, the benefits of HBAO+ are further exemplified. Here, halos are removed from around the debris on the floor, and the microwave is correctly shadowed, as there's no illumination within the device or casting directly onto it.

Over range it falters however, with HBAO+ delivering more accurate, more visible AO shadows across distant views. First seen in Far Cry 4, SSBC is Ubisoft's current-generation, self-made, cross-platform AO technique that utilizes up to 12 samples (8 in Rainbow Six Siege) to deliver significantly improved AO shadowing compared to SSAO, which was seen in previous Ubisoft titles.Īs in Far Cry 4, SSBC does an admirable job and has aesthetically-pleasing -if inaccurate- shadowing around Rainbow Six Siege's ever-visible weapons and gadgets. In Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, the Ambient Occlusion option enables players to pick between Ubisoft's SSBC effect, and our HBAO+ technique. Without Ambient Occlusion scenes look flat and unrealistic, and objects appear as if they are floating. The AO technique used and the quality of the implementation affects the shadowing's accuracy, and whether new shadows are formed when the level of occlusion is low. For a first look, check out our Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege GeForce GTX Technology Trailer:Īmbient Occlusion (AO) adds contact shadows where two surfaces or objects meet, and where an object blocks light from reaching another nearby game element.
