Also Oskar, would love to hear a bit more about how your shader samples that 3D Ambient Occlusion texture. How does it interpolate between nearby samples?

Around 20:15... Does anybody know how the AO probe tree shape is created? That tree shape looks so complicated. Isn't it far more practical and just as effective to design simpler branching structure that overlaps itself the further out it branches?
