- djmips 9y agoEnlighten is used in UE4 and Unity as I understand it. You can read about enlighten in Frostbite circa 2010 here: http://advances.realtimerendering.com/s2010/Martin-Einarsson-RadiosityArchitecture(SIGGRAPH%202010%20Advanced%20RealTime%20Rendering%20Course).pdf http://advances.realtimerendering.com/s2010/Martin-Einarsson...
- yuhe00 9y agoUE4 doesn't use Enlighten out of the box. It uses its own system called Lightmass, which generates very nice static lightmaps, but is not that great for dynamic GI (it has some basic support through what's called "indirect lighting caches" https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Rendering/LightingAndShadows/IndirectLightingCache/ https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Rendering/Li...). However, you can get Enlighten as a licensed plugin.
