Lightsmark 2.0 is a Diagnostic Software product from dee.cz, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, Lightsmark software was designed to measure computer performance with next generation 3D engine.
Computers get faster, but rendering more polygons doesnt add value if lighting looks faked, so insiders know that the next big thing is proper lighting aka Realtime Global Illumination. Typical workloads in realtime rendering will shift. Lightsmark simulates it.
Global Illumination renders often take hours. Is your computer fast enough for realtime?
Before Lightsmark, realtime global illumination was limited to small scenes, small resolutions, small speeds, specially crafted scenes with handmade optimizations.
Lightsmark breaks all limits at once, running in reasonably sized
scene (220000 triangles) in high resolution (1680x1050) at
outstanding speed (100-400fps). Lighting is computed fully automatically in original unmodified scene from 2007 game World of Padman, not tweaked for Lightsmark and with all sorts of geometrical difficulties, with extra rooms hidden below floor etc.
Here are some key features of 'Lightsmark':
* realtime global illumination
* realtime penumbra shadows
* realtime color bleeding
* infinite light bounces
* fully dynamic HDR lighting
* 220000 triangles in scene
* 200-300 average fps (GF8800)
* fully moddable, data and source code in install directory The license of this windows utility software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this Windows Utility software.
