MegaLights Demo
Projects | | Links: Video | Documentation
During Unreal Fest Seattle’s opening session in 2024, we gave a live demonstration of a new experimental feature: MegaLights, which enables you to use orders of magnitude more lights than ever before—all movable, dynamic, with realistic area shadows and the ability to light volumetric fog. In the demo, our intrepid hero Echo navigated a scene illuminated by over 1,000 shadow-casting lights in real time running on PlayStation 5. MegaLights is an experimental feature shipping in UE 5.5.

This demo heavily leveraged Nanite, as well as the new experimental skeletal animation support.
