    Is this going to be released so that we can play around with this?

    Epic decided not to use Sparse Voxel Octree Global Illumination. UE4 will ship with a static GI solution.

    Here is the full article.

    I have to admit: read that you implemented this technique in three days makes me feel very bad. Plz tell me that it's not your first implementation of voxel cone tracing GI. hehe

    Btw, congrats. The results are amazing.

    Wow that's really lame, what happened? Did sony tell them not to have it because PS4 isn't powerful enough? I was imagining how this new lighting model will finally unlock good lighting in procedural worlds. Also, any updates on this? can't come soon enough

    Is this project going to show up at the asset store? Will this be integrated into Unity. What is the news? It has been 3 months since the last word on this.

    I wouldn't hope too much with no anouncements :(
    This is too bad as some real cool stuff (TC particles and the fragmenting shader notably) are out on the store and i really hoped a GI solution would be too.

    Do you work on this anymore for the a possible asset on the store or that is not in your plans as of yet?
    Thanks

    There's quite a bit of work involved in converting a tech demo into a usable product. I think it might take a while.

    I think he's just not planning to put it on the store, no answer for months now.

    This thread has 4 pages and 2 comments from the OP. Are you really insteresting by this tool?. Personnaly, i'm waiting for an official integrating by Unity Technologie. This will sooner or later and "monitoring" will be better.

    I'm interested in a realtime GI solution, but definately not expecting for this one to be released seeing his activity.
    I may roll my own but i really'd rather buy.

    This is dead? I kinda believe in this... I really thought this was going to take unity from darkness to the light!
    any hope?

    I'm working on something similar using a more modern approach. I'll keep you guys posted when first screenshots arrive ;).

    That looks interesting, but I must say it doesn't look quite as pretty as this voxel-cone-traced approach. And I wonder how it compares with regard to specular reflections.

    Hi Kurt, I see you've also implemented LPV in unity which is a much more efficient global illumination method to me and I'd rather see that on the asset store!

    I think 30 fps @ gtx 680 is OK for the freedom you get in return. No pain no gain and lets face it, if you begin PC dev now with a cycle of 2 years for a title, a lot more possibly customers will be available at the end of your development.

    In his polycount thread he achieved 70 fps on a gtx 660 which underperforms an amd 7870 which is comparable to the PS4's gpu, is it safe to say the this can run on next gen consoles?
