ABSTRACT
Avalanche Studios released Just Cause 2 in 2010. This massive open world supported no shadow casting lights (other than the sun) and used a forward renderer. With Mad Max, Avalanche Studios have moved to a deferred renderer, using HDR, tone maps and a physically based lighting model. This engine supports multiple shadow casting lights as well as our primary sunlight.

High-quality lighting and efficient pre-integration for volume rendering
VISSYM'04: Proceedings of the Sixth Joint Eurographics - IEEE TCVG conference on VisualizationPre-integrated volume rendering is an effective technique for generating high-quality visualizations. The precomputed lookup tables used by this method are slow to compute and can not include truly pre-integrated lighting due to space constraints. The ...
Fast, Realistic Lighting for Video Games
Global lighting effects produced by diffuse interreflections are typically simulated using global illumination methods such as radiosity or ray tracing. Although diffuse interreflections are crucial to produce realistic images, radiosity like methods ...
Real-Time Volume Rendering in Dynamic Lighting Environments Using Precomputed Photon Mapping
We present a framework for precomputed volume radiance transfer that achieves real-time rendering of global illumination effects for volume data sets such as multiple scattering, volumetric shadows, and so on. Our approach incorporates the volumetric ...
