ABSTRACT
This talk discusses in detail the area lights technique used in Cyberpunk 2077. We outline the limitations and challenges we had, and then present our solution. Particularly, we describe our 100% analytical capsule lights, our spot-capsule solution, and our capsule light shadow technique. We then discuss our artistic pipeline, our performance results, and limitations.

Forward area light map projection
AFRIGRAPH '03: Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Computer graphics, virtual Reality, visualisation and interaction in AfricaWe present a new method for soft shadow visualization. This two-stage approach generates high-quality soft shadow images by projecting sampled surface points, which are kept in a "layered area light map", onto the viewing screen. The layered area light ...
Direct lighting under dynamic local area light sources
Edutainment'11: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on E-learning and games, edutainment technologiesDynamic local area lights provide better realism compared with traditional artificial lights, which have been increasing in real-time graphic applications. This paper addresses the problem of real-time direct lighting under dynamic local area lighting ...
Improved Computation of Attenuated Light with Application in Scenes with Many Light Sources
SCCG '13: Proceedings of the 29th Spring Conference on Computer GraphicsThis paper presents and investigates methods for fast and accurate illumination of scenes containing many light sources that have limited spatial influence, e.g. point light sources. For speeding up the computation, current graphics applications use an ...
