Client Highlight: Silicon Studio

Silicon Studio is the developer behind the middleware Enlighten, the world’s most advanced dynamic lighting technology, delivering real-time global illumination for gaming across PC, Console, Mobile and VR platforms.

By realistically simulating the behavior and reflection of light, artists can illuminate any scene with just a small number of lighting sources, all while bringing unrivaled subtlety and harmony to the games’ graphics. Enlighten calculates the effect of global illumination in real-time. Lights, materials and objects can be moved and updated at runtime with the global illumination updating in milliseconds. Furthermore, Enlighten’s real-time global illumination can integrate into gameplay with day-night cycles, weather effects, player-controlled lights and more.

Enlighten is available as a stand-alone SDK or integrated into Unreal Engine 4. It is a proven technology that has delivered concrete benefits for many high-profile AAA titles, including Nier: Automata, Pro Evolution Soccer 2019, RiME and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice. The company’s support team and robust documentation provide everything needed to integrate with your project.
