Depth based Ambient Light (?)

Thers is a little bit stupid suggestion.. I would like to request a depth based Ambient Light shader. (To enhance this effect in the distant plan..)

*Sorry for my poor grammar..

Its not as easy cause depth is applied on a pixel dependent on the depth of that pixel while having only one focus point.
For light you would need to apply light on a pixel dependent on the depth of a pixel that is source of that light while having an arbitrary number of possible light sources.

I thought about something similar once to fake global illumination but that requires a smart algorithm to think of first

What should be possible though is applying the AL algo only on a certain (soft) depth threshold. That way you could limit the effect to only the background. Not sure though if that is what you want.

Okay. I understand.

Sure. This would be pretty cool.
