Nighttime Rendering DemosNightime lighting and rendering, (also known as deferred rendering), is now demoing to current and prospective customers. We took a little while to do this because we wanted to get it right. CityScape's nighttime rendering will handle hundreds of headlights, streetlights, and other light sources. The renderer is completely dynamic, which means we can adjust parameters on the fly. No baked lightmaps here! It's controlled through CityScape's Astrometrics widget, so when you adjust the settings for the time of day in CityScape, the lighting reacts accordingly. To set up a meeting for a live demo, call us at +1 (760) 877-9969 or email sales@pixelactive3d.com. CityScape & OneSAF in OrlandoCityScape can export correlated maps in Collada, Filmbox, OpenFlight, OneSAF and more.

He will be giving the talk, "Procedural Generation of OTF Terrains" on Thursday, April 22nd, from 0830 to 0900 in the Grand Ballroom. In the talk, he will be taking a geospecific location and creating correlated terrains in Collada, OpenFlight and OneSAF.
