The slides for our huge Lumen presentation in the Advances course at Siggraph 2022 are now up! We presented all of our work on real-time Global Illumination in UE5 to date, with lots of inside info from 'The Matrix Awakens' demo. @knarkowicz @_pmkelly.

After 17 years at Epic Games and an intense few years launching Lumen in UE5 with @knarkowicz, I'm in need of a break, so I'm going on an extended leave. Lumen isn't done of course, and work on it will continue, just without me for the time being.

This was only possible with the hard work from a lot of people at Epic. On top of @knarkowicz and myself, there's Jian Ru, Tiago Costa, @Mutantspoon and the Fortnite art team, Eric McDaniel, and many others on the @UnrealEngine Rendering team and Fortnite tech team.

It's amazing what accurate Global Illumination can do in even simple scenes in Fortnite Chapter 4 (Distance Field Ambient Occlusion vs Lumen GI)

Today Lumen Global Illumination and Reflections ship in Fortnite Chapter 4 on next gen consoles and PC. This is a huge milestone for Lumen, as it's the first time we've shipped it in a real game, with foliage, and running at 60fps.
