Future Is Bright: Phase 3 - Studio Beta

[SheriffTaco]

I’m pretty sure they’re working to tone down the brightness for lights on lower graphics levels on Future lighting by the release date.

Just disable casts shadow on the transparent part. Transparency isn’t supported yet.

So far it works pretty well for me.

The Update is great and all, but there are serious camera angle light issues…

video: for a better explanation…

[Darboticus]

Clearly, my practice of having light come from the ground is going to have to go

[mothmage (moth)]

I encountered this too! Made a request for it to be documented here:

Document that light passes through parts at 0.75 transparency specifically

In the left image, light is successfully going through the part that has .75 transparency. In the right image, light isn’t going through the part that has .7 transparency. [21709] [21710] This can lead to some confusing behaviour because it can be reasonably assumed that a really bright light would pass through a 0.5 transparency part. A developer I was working with wanted to put lights under glass but was hesitant to because they couldn’t figure out how to before, even after consulting the…

If shadows aren’t important for the part that you’re passing light through then you can turn CastShadow off for that part in the meantime.

Just want to show a nice little build that really shows the beauty of this update.

[CreatyChameleon (ash)]

setting the glass parts to not cast shadows would be the simplest fix I could think of for that

[Alaprine]

Again, will there be an option to use the old Voxel lighting shadows instead of Future shadows when this comes out of Studio Beta? I asked this before, but I didn’t get a clear answer.

The FIB3 not showing at certain camera angles happened to me before Future was even released… You may know this but

This is going to be so exciting! I can’t wait for the futuristic scenes and showcases.

[A_SquaredAnimations]

You forgot the comical amount of bloom.

[TheCrypticRunner (Cryptic)]

Another issue I’ve noticed, is there a limited amount of lights? I’ve been making the map for my game for a while and enabling FIB disables some of them.
EDIT: I put in a brick with another spotlight and it works, is there any kind of super awkward logic that nobody except interns can understand (with the same style as the physics lol)?

[IocaIe]

Just love it when every time Roblox releases an update, a nuclear bomb gets closer to the ground.

[masterstar222]

Oh boy oh boy!

I am so late to the party on this, but it looks phenomenal.

I can’t quite get the right “Lightbeam through windows from a distance” effect, partially because of that weird 60s maximum everyone’s talking about, but as a wise man once said; “It eez what it eez”.

By the way, can we get different intensities of shadows based on transparency of objects? It’s kinda nitpicky but it sure would be nice.

@masterstar222

can we get different intensities of shadows based on transparency of objects?

Future Is Bright: Phase 3 - Studio Beta

we have that in backlog, so maybe one day

We might eventually!

[Optim_us]

Is this my new favorite thing ever? Yes.

[Maahhbb (Mah)]

That actually happens to me too, even with max graphics settings

[Maahhbb (Mah)]

If im not wrong the transition between those lightning systems will be based on graphic level
