RE: Blog: "Tech feature: Pre-pass lighting"

Pretty cool stuff, being able to do the lighting in a more efficient method. Working with the level editor for HPL2, I've come to realize VERY quickly how problematic optimization can be in regards to lighting, so any little bit of improvement helps!

When you mentioned "terrain" at the end of your post, I swear I got shivers running up my spine.

A bit hard to say actually, but I think a bit less. There will be different kind of changes though so I cannot give an exact answer. Thinking about it, it might actually be considered more changed Smile

Do you have any intent on making an engine feature for crepuscular rays, or possibly particles that correct their appearance for lighting?

Screw you I'm a professional. >:O

And by the way I mean the real kind like in STALKER, not those God-awful rays that are fake in Crysis.
