Future Is Bright: Phase 3 - Studio Beta

@Infuriashon @Crazedbrick1 @ittrgrey This update won’t affect low-end devices. Future lighting is automatically disabled on lower graphics settings. It’s up to the game developers to decide if they will support mobile users or not.

would be good if you could make the brightness/range smaller to be more accurate with smaller lighting props, regardless this is amazing

I love this so much thank you really. But I have a few questions for the future. Are you planning to add global illumination, light shafts, actual reflections and not a skybox (and have options to have real time or not), coloured shadows, have the shadows change brightness depending on the transparency of a part, particle shadows, maybe even subsurface scattering, and volumetric lighting? I think this really would add a lot more realism to roblox and make everything look better way and might help compete with other game engines like with unreal and unity.

This is the final phase. I’m not sure where your getting this information from.

Right now it’s still in beta. I was referring to the feature not being complete yet since there are some small glitches that can make it look wacky. This is why I said :

The new lighting looks awesome!
My only complaint is the performance. It doesn’t run very well even on high-end PC.

So when do we get Roblox in 8k 60fps, so I have a reason to buy the RTX 3090 graphicscard?

Is that game open to play? I would play that anytime!

That looks awesome! I will definitely put this lighting feature into some of my horror games, that thing looks out of the blue amazing. You do deserve some more fame from that thing, the black thing behind that pillar adds a more horrific tone to it. You did a great job with using the new lighting system for that.

I love that so much it is so cool.

This is from the future. Anyways enough with jokes. I have been using it for a while it is amazing in MY OPINION. FIB3 helps with my game projects and lighting. You need to fix some shadows in my opinion it does not match up. In my opinion I will give it about a 9.5!

Just wanted to bring this to the attention of Roblox engineers considering this is the current announcement thread about lighting, that reasonably recent unannounced changes within the past 9-10 months have had a negative impact on visual elements inside all lighting modes - please see all of the bugs mentioned in the thread below:

Some project i am doing and using Future lighting to build it because its not going to be done for a bit but here is a look at my teams scene!

i think the lighting looks much better than from the past and will make our game look amazing.
