Ambient Occlusion Improvements.

Hi, i have been following this project for a while cause the engine seems very awesome and was wondering if it would be possible to improve the AO by using Activision's Ground Truth Ambient Occlusion (GTAO) Method.

Its code was ported to Unity 3years ago, and it works better than MSAO or SSAO.

Hi, a new AO method like that can be added to the engine in the future. I'm not sure when I would do this, but anyone else could also try it. There are a lot of example AO implementations already that can be used as a base.

Thanks for the response Janos, i am unfortunately inexperienced to try/do this on my own, but i have found other AO solution if it comes time for experimenting.

Hey, @TheIronLefty! I'll try to make time to implement both GTAO and CACAO, so I'd stay on the lookout for that if I were you.
