Fake Reflections/Global Illumination

I’ve made a script in roblox studio that can create a fake gl effect.

The images below was achieved by generating Pointlights into different instances that pointlight can be visible.

Great, but beware that FIB3 is laggy.

@A_SquaredAnimations how do you rate it?

Thank you, It’s some simple coding to make this actually a real thing.

Incredible. I especially love the last 2 photos.

The light coming off the ground in the 3rd photo is really satisfying and looks amazing.
The 4th photo has some niiiiiiiiiiiiice indirect lighting.

The second photo is lit pretty bright for a dark room tho.

@Thuliiii I rate it 9/10. Also thanks for bringing me here : )

this pillar looks particularly good

It also seems to have trouble with small condensed amounts of parts so perhaps brightness should be tweaked based on part size

Sadly, Pointlights is roblox’s problem, Since we don’t have lights that sizes according to the part’s size that happens.

for a joke i name that bridge the bridge to heaven

makes sense, but then if a part cant support a light size than could you just disable it?

The code is very simple, Im not sure how to disable it using my script.

I do have some ideas of disabling it.

I tried to code it myself and I must say it looks pretty good


I coded it that the smaller parts cant have point lights to avoid stairways of heaven. i might use raycast to detect it after this

Nice to see that you are trying to code yourself!

The “engine” has been updated but not released yet. (i guess)
