Prism Lighting Engine

Building better graphics

What is PLE?

PLE (Prism Lighting Engine) is a light baking plugin created for enhancing your games graphics through a variety of features. The main ones being Indirect Illumination and Volumetric Lighting.

How do I use PLE?

To use PLE, open up the baking GUI, you will see this GUI:

Now, select a light, and customize to your liking. After customizing, click Bake Lights. To clear ALL lighting, click Clear Lighting.

What are PLE's setbacks?

At the moment, PLE only supports baked lighting, pointlight and spotlight instances. PLE only works well with ShadowMap, Voxel, and Compatibility

Where can I get PLE?

Currently, PLE is available for 600 Robux with a DISCORD ACCOUNT ONLY!
(The Roblox plugin will still get updated!)

  1. You can purchase it by clicking Purchase in the purchase portal.
  2. Join the Prism Assets Discord Server and follow the instructions in #verify-purchase

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, sure even if you have 50 dollars volumika is great, but this tool is baked meaning it’s probably more performant and works better for static scenes, also the global lighting looks incredible.

I’m excited for what else this project has to offer in the future.

Suggestion to have the values for the settings in the plugin save for when you reopen studio.
(plugin:SetSetting(key, value), plugin:GetSetting(key))
It would make it a lot easier for developers to have specific looks to their game without having to remember their settings, especially as you add more features.

You should also consider adding more settings for the various things, like adjusting godray intensity, and changing what determines a reflection for indirect lighting (for different materials, etc.), and cleaning up unnecessary folders created by the plugin.

How Exactly does sun baking work? the same as normal baking?

Its a work in progress currently. Im basically trying to make an optimized way to have the sun shoot out a bunch of rays in a sphere based on how far you want it to start, and then do all the ray bounces when it hits. Im probably going to add a progress bar for it.

the SC from this post and math.pi should help
