I was wondering it sounds similar but simpler. Thanks. Where can I find more detail difference between "original Phong and Blinn-Phong". I still don't got that part. In addition, I like to ask why in the chapter 3.1, importance sampling, vertical and horizontal are separable for bloom. I believe it shouldn't be. The shaderX7 was a very hard but useful book for me. I liked CHC++ and Real-time ray-tracing (chapter 8.4 and 6.6 respectively). I also liked the chapter 4.1 about improving some problems of cascaded shadow mapping. Your post solved my question about unshape masking. I was wondering it sounds similar but simpler. Thanks.

It certainly helped sell me on the book. For SSAO, I would also recommend looking at NVIDIA's horizon-based ambient occlusion (HBAO). It is heavier than the Crytek or Blizzard solutions, but potentially more accurate. That's good for the CAD folks, who favor quality over speed (compared to the games folks). Naty,
