Cool work! We do this in ARK: Survival Evolved, except we also can bake and stream time-of-day IBL captures (diffuse + reflection). There is an overview of how to use the system in the ARK Devkit Documentation, but it is missing some information on how to create new time-of-day IBLs. https://sites.google.com/a/studiowil…ments/lighting

Cheers![/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR]

I just asked why don’t contribute that its all, I have no problem if they don’t share contents cause legal reasons or because the reason that is. After all was himself who come here to showcase his tool that after all we can do nothing with it ?

just having pointed me into Ark so I could see for myself how it works is already a contribution :)[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR]

Here this guy did a lot of source code from shaders change and addition for free to all the community, and you come with Blueprint actors that just call the system you company did…

I only saw the stream when I started working on my system, and it was disheartening to see the Epic guys’ hyped reaction to Ark’s IBL and then I know that years later UE4 still has no hint of an IBL system[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR]

@ Wanted to give this a quick go on the elemental demo…awesome stuff man! Having the ability to get some larger scale occlusion and bounced lighting while using a dynamic lighting workflow has been such a desired feature. Really going to miss having this in the main engine build

oh that looks awesome. this is again night and day of what lighting can be
testing the system on the elemental demo was something I wanted to do at some point but I guess now I don’t have to

@Hevedy

Other than this will contribute here with some pics I take some days ago:

If someone still don’t think this is need for realtime light then don’t know what is need to showcase it.

you’ll get even more drastic comparisons with scenes that are less exposed to the outdoors, but this looks nice already :)[/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR]
