Hi, I've tried using the MOGRE SSAO manager (from here http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Simple%20SSAO ) and it appears broken.

I found this: http://www.craftworkgames.com/blog/impl ... -in-mogre/ which is the original source of the MOGRE SSAO Manager, and the forum there states the same issue I'm seeing;

Thank you very much for porting this class. But for me, it does not work (Mogre 1.6.5 and 1.7.4). Could you please upload a little mogre example project? I could compare my version and yours ( and check if at least the sample project works on my machine).

With a link to an error that's similar to what I'm seeing (but my error is much fainter): http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/37/ssao.jpg . And there are absolutely not traces of shadows.

I have a minimal example based on the tutorial code, but I had to replace a number of binaries with newer ones to make it compile (but not function). This might be part of the problem.

I've uploaded my non working demo here; http://gscan.se/download/BadSSAO.zip (it's 18MB) . There are no shadows and as you zoom out from the ground pane, you can see some circular artifacts. Turning off the SSAO hides these.

I've copied the SSAO CG scripts from the original demo - and that works, but unfortunately I can't use those binaries because they're not the MOGRE ones.

Does anyone have a working version of SSAO they can share?
