This is the algorithm that I used:
1. Create an Framebuffer Object FBO (you can use TGLFBORenderer from GLScene)
2. Attach the color buffer to a texture (TGLFBORenderer can do it for you; or look at the source files, if you don't want to use GLScene)
3. Attach the depth buffer to a texture (TGLFBORenderer can do it for you)
4. Create your rotateMap texture (4x4 pixels is enough). You can imagine this texture as a sprite which will be imposed on the screen - this is your ambient shadow. (it seems to me that Bokeh Depth of Field uses similar technique)
5. Read about Ambient Occlusion, shader techinques and write your SSAO shader (depthMap+rotateMap); or find a solution on the internet.

How goes the work on SSAO? Here is ready solution for GLScene:

My shader is very similar, but I added automatic change of size of ambient shadows and added fog.
The size of SSAO is dependent on the camera's distance to the observed object and the fog covers SSAO in the further view.

By the way, I made several improvements to the Depth of Field (blur was too strong) and now it looks perfect

I need some help.
I'm looking for graphics cards models (desktop computers), that do not support my shaders.

Please check techdemo.exe and write information about your video card, if an error occurs.

Information should be similar, as shown below:
<Your hardware/driver doesn't support shader "Parallax">
I need this info to buy that card and find out what is wrong. Maybe this is not the best way to find bugs, but practical.

Until now, there are errors on the integrated ATI cards (I don't have any ATI card, and at least one would be handy).

If you could port that to Mac, I'd be happy to test it for you on my iMac. It has an ATI card which is not integrated, but a current one at least.

I tried to download it 3 times and I got a corrupted download. =(

Sorry, now it works (checked):

First, I will try to port to XBox 360
Theoretically it is possible.... I think so...

... and there are no problems with different drivers.

Does that mean the first real usage of 'Oxygene for .NET' as a development tool for game development? That's pretty exciting actually. If you want help with such a task, you should contact RemObjects and tell them what you intend. I'm sure they will be more than helpful knowing what a milestone this would be for them.
