EDL is a real time shading filter that enhances very small features on blank clouds or meshes (i.e. it doesn't rely on any information apart from the geometry itself). As the SSAO shader, this is a faster alternative to normal-based shading.

The EDL shader can be enabled via the 'Display > Shaders & filters > EDL Shader' menu, or via the icon in the 'Shaders' toolbar on the right-hand side of the screen.

Note: EDL requires a contiguous depth map. Therefore if your cloud is too sparse at the current viewing zoom, you must increase the point size (so as to fill the holes).
