Global Illumination alternatives

Is it me, or do Shadows look insanely dark even at midday? Mind you I don’t think this is necessarily anything to do with the DFGI implementation, more just games in general. I mean, if you go outside in that environment IRL, you’d probably see hardly any shadow at all, or if you did it’d be considerably more lit up and faded than that.

This whole thread is crazy though… man. Epic have some of the smartest rendering people. Turnaround time on this has been insane.
