Dice带来的LightingYouUpInBattleField3

是一个artist写的。。。

没有给细节，陈列一些技术点和技术点的结果，还是很赞的。

 ThePast

 首先介绍了dice之前项目的一些技术点：

BattleFieldBadCompany:(2008)

 Frostbite1;

 Forward-rendering

Nostreaming

Hemisphericalsky/ground light+ directional sun light

3point lighting

100%Dynamic shadows, cascaded shadowmaps

3slices, 1024x1024

Single(!)point light per object

NoGlobal Illumination

NoScreen Space Ambient Occlusion

Staticskyocclusion maps for buildings & bigger objects

Staticsky occlusion volumes for indoor environments that dynamic objects sampled asingle value from

 

Mirror's Edge(2009)

UnrealEngine3

 Forward-rendering

Streaming

Staticworld / static lighting

IlluminateLabs Beast Offline Generation

GlobalIllumination (bounce, emissive, translucent)

Storedas directional lightmaps (Radiosity Normal Maps)

Dynamicobjects(i.e. Faith)

Pre-calculatedlight probes form basis for relighting dynamic objects

Combinemost relevant probes to form SH basis for lighting

Extractmajor light axis as “directional light source”

Useconventional shadow mapping from extracted directional

 

Dice非常渴望能够有进一步的lighting能力，

• dynamic场景下的GI
• 室外带有反射surface的大型场景
• 更多的lighting model
• 透明散射
• 高速的work pipeline
• particle lighting
• advanced bloom/tone mapping

---

solutions

GI solution types:

• light map:large, static, receive and bound light
• light probe:small, 有机统一的, only receive light, dynamic geometry

 黄色的是静态的lightmap驱动的，蓝色的动态的lightprobe驱动的。

 然后介绍了一个标准的irradiance volume的用法，也就是lightprobe+lightmap（呃，enlighten哪里去了？）

 最后看下color grading和filmic tonemapping的效果对比，这俩技术还是相当有用的。
