I know that in the Future is Bright beta builds, particles were able to cast shadows onto level geometry. However, they do not seem to do that with Future lighting enabled. Are particle shadows planned at some point soon?
Why is this the case?

Future lighting seems to be bugged on my end
For context, all neon parts have SpotLight instances within, and it looks like this with shadowmap:

Maybe it’s because it makes more shadows.

While the new future lighting is fantastic, I think everyone would benefit greatly from Light.EnableSpecular.
What this would do is make it so the Specular highlighting on artifical light sources, such as point lights, spot lights, and surface lights, would not render, making ambient lighting more believable.
Example of the specular highlighting being problematic:
I have a point light in the center of this room that acts as a way to simulate the “bouncing” of light, so the Torches on both sides of the room won’t need ridiculously huge ranges.
This would allow us to use the new Future lighting for all of the new fancy lighting features, while also still allowing us to selectively turn off specular highlighting for Lights!

I’m so happy ROBLOX is always improving it’s graphics. Future is Bright is totally amazing with the way it looks, the different lightings and the shadows. This is truly amazing with the updates that’s been coming for the past months.

You think you could contact the company behind RTX (Nvidia) for branding purposes?
It would be funny if people memed about Roblox actually having RTX

Wow, the shadows look amazing and terrifying. We can seriously utilize that in horror games!
But, several things:
- the light still leaks out as with the other modes as well; I think it should be enclosed
- the shadows still appear at the bottom there, even though the light is inside
- it’d be cool if you guys can add volumetric lighting (or an option of it) into this.
Right now, there’s just that square of sunlight there, but having the option of volumetric lighting would make it possible to see sunrays like these:
- and with the new glare option with the Atmosphere object, it’d be cool to have star glare and that circular glare phenomenon (IDK the actual term LOL)
Circular glare.
Star glare.
Nevertheless, this is a great step into the future…which we’re already in apparently…
Keep it up, Roblox!

Are there any plans for enabling shadows for SurfaceLights as well?

I agree. I think at some point the Technology enums should be replaced with simple boolean values (the enums are already non-scriptable so this should not break any games) to enable Specular, HDR, Crisp shadows (sun + local), etc, as well as per-light settings for these as well. It would allow for games to much more easily tailor lighting to their game.
As for your specific use-case, due to Roblox’s lack of GI, I think this is also a good idea.

Are there any plans to uncap the maximum light range of 60, or at least increase it?
