Ambient Occlusion Map Generator from Height Map
Generate an ambient occlusion map from a grayscale height or displacement map with GPU-based HBAO in your browser. Float32 processing keeps 16-bit PNG heights banding-free end to end.
Starting with a photo, albedo, or color texture? Use the
PBR Texture Generator
to create a complete map set.
Output keeps your source aspect ratio. The value above is the longest edge.
Result
Adjust the result. Output intensity updates live. Change Radius or Contrast and click Generate AO Map above to apply.
