[{"type":"text","content":"\n Angle PLC\n14 February 2008\n\n\nFor Immediate Release 14 February 2008\n\n ANGLE plc\n\n Software Development Kit Launched by Geomerics\n\nANGLE plc is pleased to announce that its venture company Geomerics has\ncompleted its Software Development Kit (SDK) for Enlighten, the revolutionary\nradiosity lighting engine for PLAYSTATION(R)3, the Xbox 360(TM) entertainment\nsystem from Microsoft and PC. Enlighten's SDK comprises a modular toolkit with\nan emphasis on easy integration into existing development frameworks. It also\nboasts intuitive operation designed with artists in mind and full support for\nindustry standard packages such as 3D Studio Max and Maya for maximum\noperability.\n\nEnlighten's radiosity solution represents a generational step in videogame\ngraphics technology, surpassing all currently popular lighting techniques.\nRadiosity is the ability to model light as it bounces from surfaces and it is\nkey to generating high quality visual images. Current technologies for\ngenerating radiosity lighting involve either pre-computing it in advance, or\nfaking it with multiple hidden lights. These methods are typically inflexible,\ntime-consuming and often generate poor results.\n\nEnlighten computes full multiple-bounce radiosity at runtime, giving developers\nthe quality of pre-computed lighting without the pre-compute. In-game lighting\ncan also be fully dynamic, giving designers a powerful new tool with huge\npotential for enhancing the atmosphere and mood of any scene. Additionally,\nEnlighten's instantaneous feedback means that artists are freed up to experiment\nwith light, shadow and colour in dramatic new ways - just as if they were using\nreal lights on a studio set.\n\nGary Lewis, CEO, Geomerics comments:\n\n'We are delighted to be announcing the launch of the Enlighten SDK. With our SDK\ncompleted, we are looking forward to seeing Enlighten gaining the support it\ndeserves within the games industry. We are certain that once developers get\ntheir hands on the SDK and experiment with it for themselves, they will see the\ntrue power and versatility of Enlighten and the huge potential it has for\nrevolutionising the look of videogames for years to come.'\n\nGeomerics will be at Expo Suite 561 throughout GDC Expo 2008, which runs from\n20th to the 22nd February.
