, so they appear darker. Unity approximates Ambient Occlusion in real time as a full-screen post-processing effect.

The Ambient Occlusion effect is time-consuming, so it’s more suited for use on desktop or console hardware. Its impact on processing time depends on screen resolution and effects properties.
