Is there any way to find or recover old BA threads that were lost in the BA migration

[RPaladin]

Hi,
I am not the thread owner of this particular thread, but I am interested in recovering it for educational reasons.
This thread existed before the Blender Artists move, but is now no longer existent it appears.
Is there a way to modify the URL to get it working with current protocols perhaps?

Unfortunately it turned out to be a existent thread with changed protocols as I assumed …

nicer and faster SSAO

I had some spare time and inspiration from mtracer and Arkano22 and I made yet another Screen-Space Ambient Occlusion filter. And there is a reason why I reinvented stuff that already exists and works. faster - code kept as simple as possible. more natural - samples are gathered circularly making occlusion softer, also AO is not rendered on lit and bright areas. In real life Ambient Occlusion is noticeable only in shadows. Feel free to use and modify the filter… screenshots: [http:/…

However, thank you for the info and time, really appreciate it, I will certainly use this method in the future if I run into any incompatible threads. Cheers.

Yeah, now that you mention, by googling the thread’s name I found the original one in the first result.

The thing is the original old thread didn’t have a ‘name’ in it’s url, that’s why I was looking for a solution, and now I found it thanks to you.
