Experience Enlighten
Explore a jungle scene that is enhanced with dynamic indirect lighting.
Observe the differences in realism provided by reflections, dynamic day-night cycles, indirect shadows, and more as we showcase the impact of global illumination.
Realistic indirect lighting for 3D worlds
Lightweight and Flexible
- Eliminate costly computing during runtime.
- Real-time bounced lighting calculations are expensive and would limit target platforms to only high-end hardware or rely on static light baking. Enlighten takes a different approach by precomputing data beforehand based on the scene geometry and ray tracing results.
- This precompute data allows Enlighten’s runtime to remain lightweight. Lightmaps and light probes are then utilized to simulated real-time bounced lighting uniformly across a wide-range of platforms—including mobile devices such as iOS and Android, as well as Nintendo Switch™ support.
Enhanced Realism
- Push the boundaries of photorealism with dynamic indirect lighting.
- Enlighten provides stunning real-time global illumination that enables many features such as global reflections, day-night transitions, dynamic weather effects, player-controlled lighting, and more.
- Designed to scale, it effortlessly provides lighting for vast outdoor landscapes and intricate indoor spaces alike. When used with Unreal Engine, support is provided for World Partition, ensuring seamless performance across any project size or scope.
Standalone or Unreal Engine
- Quickly add Enlighten into your current workflow as a standalone SDK or pre-packaged with Unreal Engine.
- One option that Enlighten provides is a standalone SDK package with guides and support for integration into your existing game engine.
- For those using Unreal Engine, the work is already done for you in a ready-made 3rd party middleware package. After initial setup, the addition of Enlighten to the lighting artist workflow is seamless with new or existing projects—requiring only a few clicks to configure and obtain results.
