Recently I noticed that the quality of Future Lighting seems to be downgraded, most noticeably the shading around objects and characters (ambient occlusion i think?) I was just wondering if this was a bug or if it was intentional, and if it’s a problem with my computer.
Shadowmap:
Future Lighting:
That’s odd. Are you sure your graphics settings are set to max for Future? It’s also possible Roblox is tweaking some stuff, a lot of games don’t use Future because of how performance-intensive it can be. Maybe the engineers are trying to optimize it?
(And yes, it’s ambient occlusion)
yup, everything set to lvl 21 in studio, my best guess might be that they’re optimizing it like you said.
Shadow mapped lighting has more intense screen-space ambient occlusions while future lighting has a lot less visible ambient occlusion. The only thing future lighting adds is a more advanced lightings system with ‘points lights’ and ‘spot lights’ so really nothing changes to static meshes other than less ambient occlusion opacity.
Yup, this is a bug. Just wait untill Roblox takes action I guess.
this is 100% percent a bug and i recommend posting to bug reports if you can as i and many others have been experiencing this for a month.
