Unveiling the Dark Art

“Occlusion is dark art!”

It doesn’t have to be that way.

“Can someone please explain occlusion to me like I’m five years old?”

Well, that would be patronising. But with OBAB, we’ve certainly broken occlusion down with visuals, examples, and analogies to help you finally make sense of it.

“I just don’t get Occlusion – it seems needlessly complicated!”

We hear this a lot. And we agree—it doesn’t need to be complicated!
