Beta release may be out by tomorrow! Here’s a preview of hard shadows with global illumination.
I’ve been fixing up some bugs like light leaking, but unfortunately it’s a difficult issue to fix!

Hi y’all, I still have a few more issues to fix. Progress has been a bit slow lately because of life changes. However, I made a video showcasing the global illumination feature!
Wedges are also finally implemented! I will probably be adding support for spheres as well and meshes once editablemesh is complete.

Looks amazing!
Btw, will you add an option to only bake indirect lightning? So we could be able to get global illumination with realtime lightning

Hi! I was wondering when this is going to come out? Do you have a planned release date or deadline?

what are the plugins that you have?
Hi, this example is from 2022! I will upload a new version once radiosity engine is released

Hi! I don’t have a fixed release date at the moment. Work on the project has slowed down since I’ve started college, but a repo is now available on github that is a WIP! It can be found here: GitHub - Razorboot/radiosity_engine_luau: A full Radiosity-based Baked Lighting Implementation using LuaU.
A place file is not available yet though! You can place the RadiosityEngine folder in ServerScriptService, as well as main.lua

Oops! I may have forgotten to fill out a script. I’ll work on this later and update the GitHub repo
Hmm, it appears like the code was implemented successfully. Did you download the scripts correctly? Maybe copy and paste the code directly into Module scripts. Everything inside RadiosityManager is a module. main.lua is a regular server side script.
An example place file has been added to the github repo! May work on a guassian blur to smooth out the noise.
your place file is still broken and creates in error when you click play
Do not hit play! Render the scene with ”Run”. EditableImage is not released yet for Server to Client replication, which is why I haven’t released the system yet fully! I’ll make sure to add this in the Read Me as well

that doesnt change anything i still get the error even when i just click run
Hm I’m not sure what it could be. I’ll check the place file tomorrow! What does the error say in your output?
it says The currently executing script thread is not associated with an Actor even though the script is parented to an Actor. This may indicate the current thread was created prior to the script being parented under an Actor. this happens when i hit run OR play in the place file without changing anything
I’m sorry for this issue! I just downloaded the place file from the repository and experimented with it. I appears to work for me! It may be your Studio Beta Settings. Can you double check and make sure if all options are enabled?
