Hey, nemesis.
That is indeed a neat scene, and the code seems very short. I actually first saw
it the other day here: https://glslsandbox.com/e#77142.0 The ambient occlusion
looks pretty good, and is fast. I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect the
author used a trick involving the exploitation of signed distance functions: for
every step of the camera ray, you add to a variable and use that to alter the
color of any hit surface. And the closer the ray is to a surface, the more you
add to the variable. The downside is that everything looks as if the camera
itself is a source of light.
